Why Ken McGregor ranks #44 in Tennis

Ken McGregor ranks 44th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1301st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 76, Honours 90, Statistics 88. 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 1946–1956 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1951, 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, doubles grand slam seasons 1, grand slam doubles titles 7, davis cup titles 3.

Immediately ahead sits Bobby Riggs on 85.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Daniil Medvedev on 85.7. 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.
