Why John Hawkes ranks #101 in Tennis
John Hawkes ranks 101st among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1412th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 88, Longevity 80, Honours 78, 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 1921–1932 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1931, 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 grand slam singles titles 1, grand slam doubles titles 4, davis cup ties played 10, grand slam finals 5.
Immediately ahead sits Dinny Pails on 80.2, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Virginia Ruzici on 79.9. 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.
