Why Justine Henin ranks #37 in Tennis

Justine Henin ranks 37th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 646th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 83, Peak 89, Longevity 76, Honours 84, Statistics 85. 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 1999–2011 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2007, which sets the Peak component at 89. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 89 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand slam titles 7, french open titles 4, olympic golds 1, career titles 43.

Immediately ahead sits Arantxa Sánchez Vicario on 81.4, a gap of -1.9 points. Directly behind is Lindsay Davenport on 81.1. 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.
