Could Kournikova or Golovin have won a Grand Slam?

Having a bit of an argument with a fellow TF poster on MSN, who shall remain unnamed for the mean time as these claims are absolutely hysterical in my mind. He argues that had Kournikova and Golovin remained uninjured; they would have won 'at least a couple' of Grand Slams.

Your thoughts? I'm a resounding 'No. Never.'. While both were good players; there were at least 10 others capable of beating them easily at all times. They were miles behind the best of both of their respective generations. This is purely speculation, but in my mind, neither achieved anything close to even suggesting a Grand Slam title.

Kournikova couldn't win a singles title nevermind a grand slam:confused:

and Golovin never really showed much of a challenge either, she didn't make the top10 or advance further than a quarter-final of a grandslam:help:

how someone can say something like that and be so assured about it is beyond me:lol:
Wrong, it was Hingis who kept her from titles that year and in 1997. She was like Roddick to Federer.
ok just shut up now:help:
i don't think i am
Roddick is a grand slam winner and a former world no.1
there's no comparison:help:

Kournikova was a pretty good player and did have a few good results,
but c'mon don't get ahead of yourself:lol:
