Why Virginia Ruzici ranks #102 in Tennis
Virginia Ruzici ranks 102nd among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1427th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 90, Longevity 78, Honours 76, 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 1975–1987 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1978, 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, grand slam doubles titles 1, wta titles 12, career-high ranking 8.
Immediately ahead sits John Hawkes on 80.1, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Marcel Bernard on 79.9. 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.
