Why Guillermo Vilas ranks #30 in Tennis
Guillermo Vilas ranks 30th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 568th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 84, Honours 78, Statistics 88. 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 1969–1992 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1977, 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 titles 4, career titles 62, match wins 929, win streak 46.
Immediately ahead sits Boris Becker on 83.2, a gap of 0.5 points. Directly behind is Evonne Goolagong Cawley on 83.1. 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.
