Why Geoff Hughes ranks #157 in Tennis
Geoff Hughes ranks 157th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1731st of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 75.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 66, Peak 84, Longevity 78, 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 1922–1932 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1923, which sets the Peak component at 84. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 84 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand slam doubles titles 1, grand slam finals 2, davis cup ties played 6, national tournament wins 5.
Immediately ahead sits Elena Rybakina on 76.1, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Angelique Kerber on 75.8. 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.
