Why Yannick Noah ranks #178 in Tennis
Yannick Noah ranks 178th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 2593rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 90, Longevity 78, Honours 78, Statistics 78. 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 1977–1996 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1983, 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 major singles titles 1, career singles titles 23, career doubles titles 16, career-high world ranking 3.
Immediately ahead sits Fred Stolle on 79.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Alex Olmedo on 79.3. 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.
