Why Martina Hingis ranks #27 in Tennis

Martina Hingis ranks 27th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 539th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 82, Honours 84, Statistics 84. 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 1994–2017 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1997, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand slam singles titles 5, grand slam doubles titles 13, weeks at no. 1 209, career singles titles 43.

Immediately ahead sits Stefan Edberg on 83.4, a gap of -0.4 points. Directly behind is Monica Seles on 84.7. 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.
