      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

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.
