Why Evonne Goolagong Cawley ranks #31 in Tennis
Evonne Goolagong Cawley ranks 31st among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 579th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 82, 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 1968–1983 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1974, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand slam singles titles 7, australian open titles 4, career titles 86, grand slam finals 18.
Immediately ahead sits Guillermo Vilas on 82.7, a gap of -0.4 points. Directly behind is Conchita Martínez on 82.0. 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.
