Why Arthur Gore ranks #37 in Tennis

Arthur Gore ranks 37th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1177th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 96, Honours 84, Statistics 84. 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 1888–1927 with 40 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1909, which sets the Peak component at 90. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 96 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes wimbledon singles titles 3, olympic gold medals 2, wimbledon appearances 30, age at final title 41.

Immediately ahead sits Roy Emerson on 86.7, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Vic Seixas on 86.5. 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.
