Why Ernie Parker ranks #162 in Tennis
Ernie Parker ranks 162nd among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1759th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 75.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 90, Longevity 64, Honours 72, 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 1908–1916 with 7 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1909, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak 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 grand slam singles titles 1, state championship titles 6, grand slam finals 1, career years 9.
Immediately ahead sits Willoughby Hamilton on 75.4, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Li Na on 75.0. 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.
