Why Louise Brough ranks #13 in Tennis

Louise Brough ranks 13th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 265th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 90.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 90, Peak 94, Longevity 86, Honours 92, Statistics 92. 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 1940–1957 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1947, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand slam singles titles 6, grand slam doubles titles 21, grand slam mixed titles 8, wimbledon singles titles 4.

Immediately ahead sits Björn Borg on 90.9, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Helen Wills Moody on 90.5. 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.
