.Even though Iga Swiatek is comfortably No. 1 in the world, there is in fact a decent volume of parity on the WTA Trip right now. Three different females have succeeded the first 3 majors in 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), as well as Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon). Include the Paris Olympics in to the formula and it's 4 various winners (Qinwen Zheng). Moreover, five different women have actually won the U.S. Open title over recent 5 times. In the last ten years, only Naomi Osaka has actually succeeded it twice.All of that should create an interesting event. Sabalenka and Swiatek are the preferences, yet an entire multitude of various other challengers are in the mix.Here are my favored choices to gain the 2024 USA Open girls's singles label.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is actually well relaxed and also motivated, having actually skipped Wimbledon due to a shoulder trouble just before leaving out the Olympics. The Belarusian is back along with a counterattack on Northern American hard courts. She is actually going over a name in Cincinnati name, where she defeated both Swiatek and Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka was runner-up at the united state Open in 2014 do not be actually amazed if she goes one step a greater distance.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's prep work for the united state Open was actually best. The 30-year-old United States won the Toronto headline just before completing runner-up to Sabalenka in Cincy. An indigenous New Yorker, Pegula will certainly take pleasure in considerable home-court advantage at this occasion. She met the one-fourths at Blush Meadows in 2022 and also only may copulate this time around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is actually an interesting longshot play. The Spaniard has come to a head as higher as No. 2 worldwide, thus there is actually no question she possesses the skill to win a slam. Badosa is actually back coming from personal injury and also in outstanding kind, winning the Washington, D.C. title ahead of a semifinal run in Cincinnati (shed to Pegula in 3 sets). The 26-year-old possesses an ideal draw at the Billie Jean King National Ping Pong Center, where she encounter not deal with Sabalenka till the partially as well as Swiatek till the final.Ricky provides to 10sballs. com as well as also keeps his very own tennis web site, The Grandstand.
