Why Robin Söderling ranks #74 in Tennis

Robin Söderling ranks 74th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 884th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 77.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 90, Longevity 66, Honours 74, 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 2001–2011 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2010, 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 grand slam finals 2, atp titles 10, career-high ranking 4, masters 1000 finals 2.

Immediately ahead sits Althea Gibson on 78.0, a gap of 0.7 points. Directly behind is Jasmine Paolini on 76.9. 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.
