Why Joakim Nyström ranks #90 in Tennis

Joakim Nyström ranks 90th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1344th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 88, Longevity 76, Honours 80, 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 1981–1991 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1991, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes atp titles 13, grand slam doubles titles 1, davis cup titles 3, career high ranking 7.

Immediately ahead sits Vitas Gerulaitis on 80.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Jennifer Capriati on 80.6. 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.
