Why Goran Ivanišević ranks #120 in Tennis
Goran Ivanišević ranks 120th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 2034th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 92, Longevity 80, Honours 80, 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 1988–2004 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2001, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes major singles titles 1, wimbledon finals 4, career singles titles 22, olympic medals 3.
Immediately ahead sits Tony Trabert on 82.1, a gap of -0.1 points. Directly behind is Bob Falkenburg on 82.1. 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.
