Why Dick Savitt ranks #140 in Tennis
Dick Savitt ranks 140th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 2274th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 94, Longevity 70, Honours 80, Statistics 82. 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 1949–1959 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1951, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes major singles titles 2, major titles in one year 2, davis cup wins 5, wimbledon titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Amanda Anisimova on 81.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is James Cecil Parke on 81.0. 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.
