Why John Doeg ranks #105 in Tennis

John Doeg ranks 105th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1960th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 74, Honours 82, 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 1926–1935 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1930, 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, us doubles titles 2, world number one rankings 1, seasons played 10.

Immediately ahead sits William Clothier on 82.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Mats Wilander on 82.4. 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.
