Who will have the better career?

[dking68]

Coco now has a slam at age 19 and Iga sits on 4 slams at age 22. Who will have the better career 15 years from now?

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Iga probaby. She will vulture RG's for years as she is great on clay. . Coco isn't very talented. She needs an opening and luck to win

Iga sucks on grass. Is coco the next big thing on grass?

 

[dking68]

Iga was a top 20 player at age 19, while Coco will enter the top three on Monday. Will Coco be a better player than Iga in years to come?

 

[Terenigma]

Iga. Unless she draws Ostapenko.

Iga can vulture clay for years and win half a dozen Hard slams.. I don't see how Cocoa can surpass that. She isn't Venus or Serena in terms of talent. Not even close

Raducanu. She was on the cover of Vogue.

But she won a slam in her teens. That speaks well for her future potential

Swiatek makes too many UE's. Unlike Serena and Alcaraz, she's not talented enough to overcome the UE's.

She has no weapons though.

What a great question @dking68. I have no idea on this one. Thinking that it will be Iga because of her dominance so far, and given that consistency can be such a rarity at the majors on the women's side these days. However, recency bias and the quality of her tennis this past summer makes me think the sky is the limit for Coco.

Please let this be a rivalry! Throw in Sabi for good measure, and I harken back to the days of Williams/Williams/Clijsters/Henin, etc.

I think if Coco continues to improve she will have a better career than Swiatek

Bianca if she can stop getting injured. Destroyed Serena at the USO.

That ship has sailed. I've seen what Andreescu has been producing this year between injuries and it isn't top 20-worthy, let alone good enough to win her slams.

The fire has gone out in that one.

Yeah maybe. And for Canada, L. Fernandez was probably a fluke USO final, along with Emma too. Both have done nothing since then.

I want it to be iga.

Coco gauff is product of liberal American agenda. When she argued with umpire, she said she followed Michelle Obama and stood up and advocated for herself. Entire twitter literally copy pasted her. Gauff doesn't have tennis fans, she has political fans. I don't want to see them.

Possibly, but I'm less inclined to write them off as they're still a good bit younger and still have plenty of growing up and developing to do.
