Why Albert Costa ranks #137 in Tennis
Albert Costa ranks 137th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1614th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 77.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 90, Longevity 76, Honours 74, Statistics 82. Those categories are normalised against the full Tennis reference universe of 251 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1993–2006 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2002, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand slam singles titles 1, atp titles 12, davis cup titles 1, career-high ranking 6.
Immediately ahead sits Chuck McKinley on 78.0, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Marion Bartoli on 77.8. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
