ATP Masters 1000 on hard (Indian Wells, Miami, Canada, Cincinnati, Shanghai, Paris): a positive 10–8 (55.6%) across 18 matches — winning above .500 at this level, week in week out, is a genuine sign of quality on hard.

2 semifinals on hard without yet reaching a final — consistent deep runs that show the ability to string together wins across a full draw, with the step to the final still to come. 3 quarterfinals adds further depth to that picture.
