The GOAT calculator

There is no settled answer to who the greatest is, because people weight the evidence differently — majors against longevity, trophies against how well someone actually played. So this does not answer it. It gives you the thirteen measures and lets you set what each is worth. Everything recalculates as you move a slider, and the weights travel in the link, so you can argue with someone by sending them a URL.

How the score is worked out

Each measure is scaled from 0 to 100 across the eligible field, then combined as a weighted mean of the measures a player actually has. A mean rather than a total, so nobody is punished for a gap in our data. Counts are scaled against the field maximum, because no titles really is zero. Rates are scaled from the field minimum instead: every eligible player wins between about half and four fifths of their matches, so dividing by the maximum would squash them all together and the measure would do no work.

Eligible: 150 tour-level singles matches and a peak Elo on file. Titles and match records reach back to 1990 on the ATP side and 1997 on the WTA side; official ranking measures start in 2003; peak Elo comes from our own model, which replays fifteen years, so players who finished before then are not listed. That is why this is an Open-Era-since-the-data-starts list and not an all-time one — and it is also why Pete Sampras is missing.

The measure set follows goatranker, with Masters titles and weeks in the top 10 added. The idea of doing this properly belongs to Ultimate Tennis Statistics, which set the standard for tennis analytics for a decade and is now offline. Its GOAT formula is a points-allocation system under a NonCommercial licence and is not used here — the scoring above is our own.
