Why Marat Safin ranks #77 in Tennis
Marat Safin ranks 77th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1699th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 96, Longevity 74, Honours 84, Statistics 86. 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 1997–2009 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2000, which sets the Peak component at 96. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 96 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes major singles titles 2, atp titles 15, weeks at world number one 9, davis cup titles 2.
Immediately ahead sits Alice Marble on 83.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Jim Courier on 83.6. 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.
