Why Chuck McKinley ranks #136 in Tennis
Chuck McKinley ranks 136th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1607th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 92, Longevity 66, Honours 78, Statistics 82. 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 1959–1968 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1963, 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, davis cup titles 1, grand slam doubles titles 1, career-high ranking 1.
Immediately ahead sits Althea Gibson on 78.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Albert Costa on 77.8. 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.
