Why Gottfried von Cramm ranks #41 in Tennis
Gottfried von Cramm ranks 41st among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1275th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 84, Honours 84, Statistics 86. 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 1932–1953 with 22 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1937, 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 2, wimbledon finals 3, french championships 2, major doubles titles 3.
Immediately ahead sits Lleyton Hewitt on 85.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Suzanne Lenglen on 85.8. 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.
