Why René Lacoste ranks #59 in Tennis
René Lacoste ranks 59th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1509th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 94, Longevity 66, Honours 90, Statistics 84. 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 1922–1932 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1927, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes major singles titles 7, french championships titles 3, wimbledon titles 2, davis cup titles 2.
Immediately ahead sits Barbora Strýcová on 84.7, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Wilmer Allison on 84.6. 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.
