Why Jana Novotná ranks #61 in Tennis
Jana Novotná ranks 61st among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 787th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 82, Longevity 78, Honours 80, Statistics 80. 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 1987–1999 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1992, which sets the Peak component at 82. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 82 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 12, olympic medals 4, career singles titles 24.
Immediately ahead sits Simona Halep on 78.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Victoria Azarenka on 78.2. 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.
