Why József Asbóth ranks #95 in Tennis

József Asbóth ranks 95th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1370th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 90, Longevity 86, Honours 76, Statistics 80. 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 1938–1957 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1947, 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 1, hungarian titles 12, world ranking high 4, davis cup ties 20.

Immediately ahead sits Gabriela Sabatini on 80.5, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Karolína Plíšková on 80.3. 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.
