Why Yvon Petra ranks #82 in Tennis
Yvon Petra ranks 82nd among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1738th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 80, Honours 82, 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 1937–1951 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1946, 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 grand slam singles titles 1, french doubles titles 1, davis cup ties 8, seasons played 15.
Immediately ahead sits Sidney Wood on 83.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Justine Henin on 83.3. 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.
