Hard Court Statistics Overview
Tomas Nydahl has found hard courts difficult, recording 7–20 across 27 matches (25.9%). The numbers point to a surface that has not consistently suited the game — a key area of opportunity on the calendar.
At Grand Slam level (Australian Open & US Open): 1–2 across just 3 matches — still very early days at this level on hard.
By format on hard — best-of-five: 1–2 (33.3%); best-of-three: 6–18 (25.0%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on hard that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 1989 — 3–4 (42.9%) from 7 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
