Why Joe Hunt ranks #165 in Tennis
Joe Hunt ranks 165th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 2454th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 64, Honours 82, 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 1937–1943 with 7 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1943, 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 grand slam singles titles 1, national junior titles 2, davis cup ties 1, seasons played 7.
Immediately ahead sits Dinny Pails on 80.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is John Hawkes on 80.1. 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.
