Why Alice Marble ranks #47 in Tennis
Alice Marble ranks 47th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 973rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 92, Longevity 66, Honours 86, Statistics 86. 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 1931–1940 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1939, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand slam singles titles 5, grand slam doubles titles 6, grand slam mixed titles 8, world no. 1 years 4.
Immediately ahead sits Martina Hingis on 83.8, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Stefan Edberg on 83.4. 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.
