.Although Iga Swiatek is conveniently No. 1 on earth, there is actually a suitable volume of parity on the WTA Excursion currently. Three various girls have actually won the initial three majors in 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), and Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon). Add the Paris Olympics right into the equation as well as it's four different winners (Qinwen Zheng). In addition, 5 various women have actually succeeded the USA Open title over recent 5 periods. In the last one decade, simply Naomi Osaka has actually won it twice.All of that must produce an interesting tournament. Sabalenka and Swiatek are actually the preferences, however a whole bunch of other contenders reside in the mix.Here are my favored selections to gain the 2024 USA Open women's single people title.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is actually properly relaxed as well as enthusiastic, having missed Wimbledon because of a shoulder trouble prior to skipping the Olympics. The Belarusian is back along with a wrath on N. American challenging courts. She is actually going over a name in Cincinnati name, where she finished off both Swiatek and also Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka was actually runner-up at the USA Open last year don't be actually stunned if she goes one step further.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's prep work for the U.S. Open was ideal. The 30-year-old American won the Toronto title prior to completing runner-up to Sabalenka in Cincy. An indigenous New Yorker, Pegula will certainly take pleasure in notable home-court advantage at this activity. She met the quarters at Flushing Meadows in 2022 and also only could go all the way this time around around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is actually a fascinating longshot play. The Spaniard has actually topped as high as No. 2 around the world, therefore there is actually certainly she has the skill to succeed a slam. Badosa is actually back coming from trauma as well as in stellar form, winning the Washington, D.C. label in advance of a semifinal operate in Cincinnati (lost to Pegula in three sets). The 26-year-old possesses a beneficial draw at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, where she get to know certainly not deal with Sabalenka up until the semis and also Swiatek until the final.Ricky contributes to 10sballs. com and also sustains his own ping pong website, The Grandstand.
