Why Jim Courier ranks #78 in Tennis
Jim Courier ranks 78th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1714th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 72, Honours 86, Statistics 84. 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 1988–2000 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1992, 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, weeks at world number one 58, career singles titles 23, davis cup titles 2.
Immediately ahead sits Marat Safin on 83.7, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Stefan Edberg on 83.4. 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.
