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 🤩
We shall see
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
@@TheDeadlyKnightall this despite the fact she sat out (of the french open) for 3 years 76-77-78 (i think) because of world team tennis.
@@navinadv Wow. If Evert had 20, 21 Slams, her career would be less (I think) underrated in achievements
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
Barty on her prime days and Swiatek now comparison. Swiatek is far much better
I think you are right. Maybe I’ll make that comparison.
The Queens of Clay are Really Cool 🦊 😎
Yes they are
I wonder what the match would be like if Barty and Swiatek met on clay.
That would’ve been quite the matchup. Swiatek is on fire!
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.
You’re right about Iga looking hungry!!
Evert - not Ev er ett. How difficult is it to learn the name of the person featured in your video? 🙄🙄
Thanks for watching
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.
Tank’s Tom Tennis 🎾
It’s too soon to even mention Igas name with Everts. Say her name right. It’s not Everett it’s one syllable Evert.
It is not too soon. If Iga wins the French Open this year then it will be 4 in 5 years!
iga swiatek is the queen
She’s making a run at it!
This video is unwatchable because Chris' name is mispronounced throughout. It's Evert (E-vert). NOT Ev-rett. If the video is going to be about someone, then get that name right for heaven's sake.
Thanks for watching Jim 💙
Haha 😂
@@TennisTenacity-cq7dgHa ha? What’s funny?
Iga of course.
She’s making a run.
Not even close
- Chris Evert is the Queen of Clay until dethroned! - Evert has 7 FO titles to Swiatek’s 3. - Evert won 70 titles on Clay. Rafa, the King of Clay, has won 63 titles on Clay. - Evert won 94.5% of all her matches on clay courts! Rafa won 91.0% of all his matches on clay courts!
Iga is now 22 y/o...
I agree ☝🏼 but Swiatek has won 3 out of 4 if she wins her 4th at just 22 then she’s got a shot at Everts 7.
@@TennisTenacity-cq7dg Swiatek needs 5 more FO titles to surpass Evert. Even then she needs to surpass Evert’s record in total titles on clay to be called the Queen of Clay.
@@TennisTenacity-cq7dg She won't, her birthday is on May 31, final of RG will be in June. Your statement makes no sense.
@@TennisTenacity-cq7dgAnd Prince Charles “had a shot” at being King for many years.
Graf has 6, Henin4 Iva -3Evert 7 and Chris didn’t play 76,77,78 when no onestood a chance to win French Evert playe d world team tennis instead of French those 3 years.
💯
she's only 22-23... give her some time - duh?
Chrissy dominance on clay is remarkable!
Chrissy was and still is the queen of clay but watch out for Iga she’s only 22 and has already won 3 French Open titles.
