Why Nicola Pietrangeli ranks #32 in Tennis
Nicola Pietrangeli ranks 32nd among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 810th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 88, Honours 82, Statistics 90. 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 1953–1972 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1959, 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 2, grand slam doubles titles 1, davis cup matches 164, davis cup wins 120.
Immediately ahead sits Andy Roddick on 85.6, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Andy Murray on 85.4. 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.
