Why David Ferrer ranks #33 in Tennis
David Ferrer ranks 33rd among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 601st of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 84, Longevity 90, Honours 76, 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 2000–2019 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2012, which sets the Peak component at 84. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes atp titles 27, grand slam finals 1, davis cup titles 3, career-high ranking 3.
Immediately ahead sits Conchita Martínez on 82.0, a gap of 1.4 points. Directly behind is Francesca Schiavone on 80.8. 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.
