Why Helen Wills Moody ranks #16 in Tennis
Helen Wills Moody ranks 16th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 188th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 90.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 94, Peak 94, Longevity 80, Honours 92, Statistics 92. 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 1919–1938 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1928, which sets the Peak component at 94. Dominance is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 25% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand slam singles titles 19, wimbledon titles 8, olympic golds 2, us championships titles 7.
Immediately ahead sits Andre Agassi on 88.1, a gap of -2.4 points. Directly behind is Ivan Lendl on 88.5. 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.
