Why Michael Stich ranks #184 in Tennis
Michael Stich ranks 184th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 2628th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 90, Longevity 68, Honours 80, Statistics 80. 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 1988–1997 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1991, 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 major singles titles 1, major finals 3, olympic gold medals 1, career singles titles 18.
Immediately ahead sits Jeļena Ostapenko on 79.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Thomas Johansson on 79.0. 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.
