Why Jack Kramer ranks #94 in Tennis
Jack Kramer ranks 94th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1878th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 72, Honours 84, Statistics 82. 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 1940–1954 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1947, 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 3, us championships titles 2, wimbledon titles 1, world professional titles 4.
Immediately ahead sits Virginia Wade on 82.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Algernon Kingscote on 82.9. 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.
