Who will have a better career, Genie Bouchard or Donna Venkic?

I know a lot of people are talking about the Kyrgios & Stan incident. But let's talk about Donna Venkic. She's a upcoming young tennis player who has been compared to Sharapova. Same thing goes for Bouchard when she first came on tour. With the case of Bouchard, she's made two WTA finals & winning 1. She made two semis of grand slams, and one final. She's 177-104 in her career not counting this season's record. Donna on the other hand made two WTA finals, won 1 and is 117-76 in her career. Bouchard is about two years older then her, and they are both the same height. Obviously we can't say much about Donna b/c she's only 19 right now, but she might have better potential then Bouchard later on in her career. What do you guys think?
 
Bouchard has already made a slam final which Venkic might never manage. I think Venkic has a brighter future, but she probably will never have a year in the slams like Bouchard in 2014 where she made 3 semis.

Idk, we will see. Isn't she working at the Evert tennis academy right now? Having Evert on board as her coach woundn't be bad. She isn't as hyped as Genie was so you'll never know what might happen.

I guess you never know. She strikes me as the type of player who might make a slam semi or two but that is it. As you say though almost impossible to really guage their potential that young. You used to be able to tell their ceiling virtually by that age, since others were making impact already at 15-16 but the game is changing again.
