Why Johan Kriek ranks #111 in Tennis

Johan Kriek ranks 111th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1483rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 90, Longevity 82, Honours 76, Statistics 82. 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 1977–1994 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1981, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand slam singles titles 2, atp titles 14, career-high ranking 7, career match wins 440.

Immediately ahead sits Kei Nishikori on 79.5, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Alex Olmedo on 79.3. 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.
