100 GOTTs of Tennis: The Greatest Players of Their Time

100 Greatest Of Their Times of Tennis This book does not aim to end arguments. It presents a transparent, scientific valuation—and lets you argue from better ground. 100 GOTT of Tennis ranks the 100 players who most defined their eras across singles, doubles, and wheelchair tennis, then explains exactly why they land where they do. Each chapter is a fast, story-driven profile with three "iconic moments," era context, and plain-English tactics, while a reproducible model quietly powers the order you see. What's inside A ranked Top-100 spanning early amateurs to the Open Era to today Integrated coverage of singles, doubles, and wheelchair greats Clean adjustments for field strength, era & opportunity, surface mix, playoff/major weight, longevity & availability, and the first-two-shots law that actually wins points Crisp era explainers (rules, equipment, court speeds) so achievements are judged in context For the curious: full method, coefficients, and guardrails in "Author's approach and scoring framework" at the end This is not vibes or nostalgia. Scores are deterministic and reproducible—the same yardstick for everyone, across surfaces and centuries. Read it two ways: let the stories carry you, or audit the logic behind the curtain. Either way, you'll come away with a bigger game and a fairer debate.
