Why Brian Teacher ranks #169 in Tennis
Brian Teacher ranks 169th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1831st of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 73.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 62, Peak 88, Longevity 76, Honours 68, Statistics 78. 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 1976–1987 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1980, 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, atp singles titles 8, atp doubles titles 16, career-high ranking 7.
Immediately ahead sits Sofia Kenin on 74.5, a gap of 0.9 points. Directly behind is Spencer Gore on 73.1. 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.
