Why Yevgeny Kafelnikov ranks #92 in Tennis
Yevgeny Kafelnikov ranks 92nd among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1844th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 78, 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 1992–2003 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1998, 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 2, olympic gold medals 1, major doubles titles 4, career singles titles 26.
Immediately ahead sits R. Norris Williams on 83.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Virginia Wade on 82.9. 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.
