Why Stefan Edberg ranks #48 in Tennis
Stefan Edberg ranks 48th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 989th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 84, Honours 82, 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 1983–1996 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1990, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand slam titles 6, career titles 42, weeks at no. 1 72, davis cups 4.
Immediately ahead sits Alice Marble on 83.7, a gap of 0.3 points. Directly behind is Ekaterina Makarova on 83.4. 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.
