Why Bill Bowrey ranks #113 in Tennis

Bill Bowrey ranks 113th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1499th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 88, Longevity 80, Honours 74, 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 1962–1975 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1974, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand slam singles titles 1, davis cup titles 1, career singles titles 9, grand slam quarter-finals 6.

Immediately ahead sits Alex Olmedo on 79.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Grigor Dimitrov on 79.1. 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.
