So many ficus species leaves look similar it is almost impossible to be certain. Fruit is one of the defining features of Ficus ID but it is unlikely you'll see those any time soon.
Petioles are relatively short, leaf base is V shaped. I'd guess F. rubiginosa. Does not really matter because most Ficus are treated similar - prune often, feed lots.
