Why Pam Shriver ranks #22 in Tennis

Pam Shriver ranks 22nd among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 616th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 88, Honours 92, 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 1978–1997 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1984, which sets the Peak component at 90. Honours is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand slam doubles titles 21, olympic golds 1, calendar grand slam in doubles 1, wta doubles titles 112.

Immediately ahead sits Andre Agassi on 88.1, a gap of 0.7 points. Directly behind is Arthur Ashe on 87.4. 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.
