Why Horace Rice ranks #70 in Tennis
Horace Rice ranks 70th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1157th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 88, Longevity 94, Honours 74, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Tennis reference universe of 251 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1895–1930 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1919, which sets the Peak component at 88. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand slam singles titles 1, grand slam doubles titles 1, grand slam finals 4, career years 36.
Immediately ahead sits Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova on 82.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Conchita Martínez on 82.0. 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.
