Why Frederick Hovey ranks #154 in Tennis
Frederick Hovey ranks 154th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 2381st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 68, Honours 82, Statistics 84. 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 1890–1896 with 7 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1894, 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 us singles titles 1, us doubles titles 1, us finals 3, seasons played 7.
Immediately ahead sits Pat Cash on 80.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Gabriela Sabatini on 80.5. 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.
