Why Juan Carlos Ferrero ranks #58 in Tennis

Juan Carlos Ferrero ranks 58th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1088th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 92, Longevity 78, Honours 82, 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 1998–2012 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2003, 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, atp titles 16, weeks at no. 1 8, davis cup titles 2.

Immediately ahead sits Virginia Wade on 82.9, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Guillermo Vilas on 82.7. 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.
