Why Wilfred Baddeley ranks #98 in Tennis
Wilfred Baddeley ranks 98th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1900th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 70, Honours 84, Statistics 84. 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 1890–1897 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1891, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes wimbledon singles titles 3, wimbledon doubles titles 4, wimbledon finals 6, age at first title 19.
Immediately ahead sits Juan Carlos Ferrero on 82.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Guillermo Vilas on 82.7. 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.
