Astounding Blot in Coco Gauff’s Tennis Stat Proves Why Iga Swiatek Is a Giant Threat to Her

Iga Swiatek is miles ahead of the World No.s 2 and 3 but her latest match-up with Coco Gauff has unearthed some interesting stats. The Polish tennis star secured another clay court title in Rome by defeating Aryna Sabalenka in the finals. While there’s a bunch of fans who are disappointed for the Belarusian’s loss, another lot is unhappy because of siding with American WTA star Coco Gauff, whom Swiatek defeated in the semis.

In their 11th showdown, the result between Gauff and Swiatek was the same as it had been 9 times before – the World No. 1’s absolute victory. The reigning US Open champion stands with just one victory in Cincinnati last year, sometimes labeled as luck by some, whereas Swiatek holds a massive lead of 10 wins throughout their careers so far.

Recently, a post on X shed light on another strong reason why Gauff fans do not tend to like Iga Swiatek and her notable feats. According to the highlighted statistics, the 20-year-old has lost a total of 90 matches throughout her otherwise notable singles career. But Iga Swiatek’s utter dominance over the once highest-ranked teenager in the world, by putting pressure on her forehands has resulted in an astounding number.

As the digits suggest, Gauff has lost a total of 10 matches, which is nearly 11 percent of the total defeats she has faced in her singles career at 90. While Swiatek’s style of play is not free of errors either, Gauff’s serve has come under particular scrutiny. The American is trying to make technical changes to improve in the long run, but to owe such a significant loss percentage to just one player doesn’t spell a bright future.

Meanwhile, this rivalry is taking on a life of its own. Where Swiatek vs. Sabalenka is receiving Martina Navratilova/ Chris Evert comparisons as the top two WTA players to fight it out, the Polish and the American players have other WTA legends to look to.

Coco Gauff-Iga Swiatek rivalry taking resembling Serena-Sharapova-like results

Besides the fact that Coco Gauff is currently suppressed under the weight of 10 massive defeats from Iga Swiatek, their rivalry is actually taking a historic turn. Back in the 2000s, fans witnessed the rivalry between the two top-ranked players Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova. Although they enjoyed every other showdown between them with the same enthusiasm, the numbers suggested a clear one-sidedness, much like the young WTA players today.

Looking back to the head-to-head stats between the two, Williams leads with a massive 20 wins out of the 22 matches played between them. While the current record between Swiatek and Gauff shows a clear resemblance to that of the historical one, can Gauff turn the tables and recreate that Cincinnati magic again?
