Why Ellsworth Vines ranks #126 in Tennis
Ellsworth Vines ranks 126th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 2125th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 66, Honours 84, 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 1930–1940 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1934, 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 major singles titles 3, us championships titles 2, wimbledon titles 1, world professional titles 3.
Immediately ahead sits Andrés Gómez on 81.8, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is John Hartley on 81.6. 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.
