Why Lindsay Davenport ranks #38 in Tennis
Lindsay Davenport ranks 38th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 655th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 85, Longevity 84, Honours 80, Statistics 82. 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 1993–2010 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1998, which sets the Peak component at 85. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 85 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand slam titles 3, olympic golds 1, career titles 55, weeks at no. 1 98.
Immediately ahead sits Justine Henin on 83.3, a gap of 2.2 points. Directly behind is Mats Wilander on 82.4. 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.
