Nice comparison! I see Iga taking another clay title today. Let’s go!

Sabalenka is playing hungry but beating Iga on clay will be tough. But I think you are right.

Let’s see if iga can catch Graf 6 & Evert 7 grand slams at Roland Garros. Those achievements are pretty amazing 🤩

Iga’s had a nice clay run, like Steffi Graf, Seles, maybe Justine Henin. But Evert’s untouchable in clay achievements, by ANYONE. She once went 197-1 on clay, 125 in a row, over 9 seasons. It’s best to just not count Chris Evert’s clay court stats. She’s from a completely different era

If Iga win next 5-6 Roland Garros slams she will be historic clay queen, everything possible for her. Now is queen of clay from atm playing players but still cant compete Evert or Graff or Navratilova

Folks. Evert also won all 3 of the US Opens that were held on clay. This is perhaps here most significant accomplishment outside RG. Evert has ten slams on clay.

It's too early to draw such comparisons if we based them purely on number of GS titles. At present, Iga is doing what Chris Evert and other stars you've mentioned done during their respective eras, dominating clay. Hence she can be called Queen of clay of 2020's so far.

@TennisTenacity-cq7dg 24 күн бұрын

Haha totally 💯 Chris Evert achieved some milestones that may never be reached like winning 125 straight matches on clay. That feat is absurd!!

@Summon256 2 күн бұрын

The argument should be for "queen of RG" or "Queen of clay court slams" not the "Queen of clay", because in that regard no one weill ever match Evert, not even Nadal in tennis match some of her most impressive clay court stats! You don't just become clay court queen suddenly by doing nothing, but winning French Opens, you have to have an overall well rounded resume on the entire surface all accross the board, this includes overal match wins, h2h records vs the field, win percentage, strike rate (for those who are not familiar with the term it's how many tournaments won versus just entered...), winning streaks, competition level, personal peak level, smaller titles outside of clay slams including 2nd most prestigious after grand slam level in Iga's cases those are WTA1000 masters events in Rome and Madrid, clay titles overal in general all of these together make complete picture! In that regard nobody ever matches Evert, just forget about it! If Nadal couldn't surpass her 70 clay court titles, lagging behind with 63 nobody else can then!

@user-pz1so2xu8j 16 күн бұрын

Don't forget- the US Open was played on clay 1975-1977- Chris won all 3 of those- giving 10 majors on clay. plus- she skipped the French Open 1976-1978 to play World Team Tennis- at the time, WTT was bigger and more important to tennis than the French was. Players had $100,000 contracts to play for a team- A Lot back then- considerably more than the French paid- the winner got around $5,000 back then (30,000 ff). Chris' 125 match streak has never been approached by anyone. I give it to Iga one day- IF she wins 10 French and has a streak over 100.

@maciekszymanski8340 Ай бұрын

Barty retired to early. But since she retired there's no question who's the best - of course active tennis players. Iga doesn't look bored with tennis so we can expect more interesting fights with her opponents.
