Why Roscoe Tanner ranks #117 in Tennis
Roscoe Tanner ranks 117th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1515th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 90, Longevity 78, Honours 74, Statistics 84. 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 1972–1985 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1977, 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 singles titles 1, atp titles 16, career-high ranking 4, davis cup titles 2.
Immediately ahead sits Thomas Johansson on 79.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Daria Kasatkina on 79.0. 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.
