Why Nadia Petrova ranks #68 in Tennis

Nadia Petrova ranks 68th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1154th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 88, Longevity 86, Honours 76, Statistics 88. 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 1999–2017 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2016, 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 wta singles titles 13, wta doubles titles 24, career high ranking 3, grand slam semi-finals 3.

Immediately ahead sits Maria Sharapova on 82.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova on 82.1. 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.
