Why Pat Rafter ranks #61 in Tennis
Pat Rafter ranks 61st among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1113th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 72, Honours 84, 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 1991–2001 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1997, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak 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 singles titles 2, atp titles 11, weeks at no. 1 1, davis cup titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Thomas Enqvist on 82.7, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Mats Wilander on 82.4. 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.
