Legend
Yes, I'm a fan of Iga Swiatek, but no, I am not projecting that she will enjoy a career of the magnitude of Steffi Graf.
Their games aren't that much alike, either, although both are quite athletic, do great damage with the forehand (I'd take Steffi's FH, but Iga's BH) and have/had good, not great, serves. Iga's is still developing. Other similarities I see are that they both play at a quick pace, and are all-business on the court.
Both seem a bit introverted, so you don't get much on-court personality. I hope - over the years - that Iga will display just a little more personality while playing.
And off the court, both seem like very nice, down-to-earth people - Iga, in particular (by age 20 -- caring, bright) and Steffi has certainly grown into what seems like a poised, gracious, wonderful person.
