Hard Court Statistics Overview
Zeljko Franulovic has found hard courts difficult, recording 33–53 across 86 matches (38.4%). The numbers point to a surface that has not consistently suited the game — a key area of opportunity on the calendar.
8 quarterfinals on hard, including one run to the semifinal — regularly reaching that stage is a solid baseline, with the next step being to break through to the final rounds more often.
Best season: 1972 — 3–2 (60.0%) from 5 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
