Why Suzanne Lenglen ranks #43 in Tennis
Suzanne Lenglen ranks 43rd among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 683rd of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 94, Peak 94, Longevity 62, Honours 88, Statistics 90. 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 1919–1926 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1922, which sets the Peak component at 94. Dominance is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 25% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand slam singles titles 8, olympic golds 2, career singles titles 83, career match losses 7.
Immediately ahead sits Jelena Janković on 80.8, a gap of -5.0 points. Directly behind is Iga Świątek on 83.8. 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.
