Why Bob Falkenburg ranks #121 in Tennis
Bob Falkenburg ranks 121st among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 2042nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 92, Longevity 76, Honours 82, 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 1944–1955 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1948, 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 grand slam singles titles 1, wimbledon doubles titles 1, match points saved in the 1948 final 3, seasons played 12.
Immediately ahead sits Goran Ivanišević on 82.2, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Conchita Martínez on 82.0. 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.
