Why Norman Brookes ranks #118 in Tennis
Norman Brookes ranks 118th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 2032nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 74, Honours 84, 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 1905–1924 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1909, 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 3, wimbledon titles 2, australasian titles 1, davis cup titles 4.
Immediately ahead sits Anthony Wilding on 82.2, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Tony Trabert 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.
