Why Budge Patty ranks #65 in Tennis
Budge Patty ranks 65th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1129th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 92, Longevity 82, Honours 80, Statistics 84. 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 1946–1961 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1950, 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 2, grand slam doubles titles 1, career titles 40, career-high ranking 1.
Immediately ahead sits Juan Martín del Potro on 82.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Svetlana Kuznetsova on 82.3. 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.
