Why Flavia Pennetta ranks #41 in Tennis

Flavia Pennetta ranks 41st among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 668th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 88, Longevity 82, Honours 82, 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 2000–2015 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2009, 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 1, wta titles 11, fed cup titles 4, doubles world no. 1 weeks 4.

Immediately ahead sits Mary Pierce on 81.3, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Jelena Janković 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.
