Why Rafael Osuna ranks #130 in Tennis
Rafael Osuna ranks 130th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 2197th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 72, Honours 82, Statistics 82. 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 1960–1969 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1963, 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 major singles titles 1, major doubles titles 2, davis cup singles wins 29, world number one ranking years 1.
Immediately ahead sits Stan Smith on 81.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Robert Lindley Murray on 81.5. 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.
