Why Manuel Orantes ranks #194 in Tennis
Manuel Orantes ranks 194th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 2705th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 88, Longevity 78, Honours 76, Statistics 78. 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 1969–1984 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1975, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes major singles titles 1, career singles titles 33, major finals 2, career-high world ranking 2.
Immediately ahead sits Gaël Monfils on 78.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Simona Halep on 78.5. 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.
