Why Art Larsen ranks #96 in Tennis
Art Larsen ranks 96th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1885th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 78, Honours 82, Statistics 86. 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 1947–1956 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1950, 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, us clay court titles 3, davis cup ties 2, seasons played 10.
Immediately ahead sits Algernon Kingscote on 82.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Juan Carlos Ferrero on 82.8. 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.
