Why Jean Borotra ranks #21 in Tennis

Jean Borotra ranks 21st among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 812th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 92, Honours 90, Statistics 86. 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 1922–1956 with 35 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1928, 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 4, davis cup titles 6, wimbledon titles 2, australian titles 1.

Immediately ahead sits Ken Rosewall on 88.7, a gap of 0.0 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.
