Why Arantxa Sánchez Vicario ranks #36 in Tennis
Arantxa Sánchez Vicario ranks 36th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 632nd of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 82, Longevity 84, Honours 82, 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 1985–2002 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1994, which sets the Peak component at 82. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 84 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand slam singles titles 4, grand slam doubles titles 6, olympic medals 4, career singles titles 29.
Immediately ahead sits Maria Sharapova on 82.2, a gap of 0.8 points. Directly behind is Justine Henin on 83.3. 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.
