Why Björn Borg ranks #13 in Tennis
Björn Borg ranks 13th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 153rd of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 90.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 93, Peak 95, Longevity 82, Honours 92, Statistics 92. 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 1972–1983 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1980, which sets the Peak component at 95. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 95 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand slam titles 11, wimbledon titles 5, french open titles 6, career titles 66.
Immediately ahead sits Ken Rosewall on 88.7, a gap of -2.2 points. Directly behind is Jimmy Connors on 88.5. 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.
