Methodology

GOAT points: every round reached scores, scaled per tier from these title anchors — Slam 2000 (runner-up 1200), Tour Finals 1500, Masters 1000, Olympics 1000, ATP 500 → 500, ATP 250 and legacy tour events → 250 — following the shape of the official ATP points tables. Davis Cup doesn't score; the GOAT ranking lists Slam champions only. Titles = winning the final of a tour-level event (Slams, Masters, Tour Finals, 500s, 250s, legacy events, Olympic gold). Peak Elo: chess-style rating over the full chronological match history with K = 250/(n+5)^0.4; walkovers are skipped and are also excluded from all win–loss records, per ATP convention.
