Why Gustavo Kuerten ranks #71 in Tennis
Gustavo Kuerten ranks 71st among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 873rd of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 76.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 86, Longevity 72, Honours 74, Statistics 78. 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 1995–2008 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2000, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand slam titles 3, career titles 20, weeks at no. 1 43, tour finals titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Angelique Kerber on 75.8, a gap of -0.3 points. Directly behind is Patrick Rafter on 77.4. 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.
