Why Anthony Wilding ranks #117 in Tennis

Anthony Wilding ranks 117th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 2031st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 62, Honours 88, Statistics 82. Those categories are normalised against the full Tennis reference universe of 250 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1906–1914 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1911, 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 major singles titles 6, wimbledon titles 4, australasian titles 2, davis cup titles 4.

Immediately ahead sits Horace Rice on 82.1, a gap of -0.1 points. Directly behind is Norman Brookes on 82.1. 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.
