Why Nathalie Tauziat ranks #79 in Tennis

Nathalie Tauziat ranks 79th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1264th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 88, Longevity 90, Honours 74, Statistics 86. 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 1984–2001 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1998, which sets the Peak component at 88. Longevity 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 finals 1, wta singles titles 8, wta doubles titles 25, career-high ranking 3.

Immediately ahead sits Mary Pierce on 81.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Aryna Sabalenka on 81.2. 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.
