.Even though Iga Swiatek is actually comfortably No. 1 worldwide, there is in fact a good amount of parity on the WTA Tour currently. 3 different females have gained the first 3 majors in 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), and Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon). Add the Paris Olympics into the formula as well as it's four different victors (Qinwen Zheng). In addition, 5 various girls have succeeded the U.S. Open headline over the past 5 seasons. In the final ten years, merely Naomi Osaka has actually gained it twice.All of that should create a fascinating competition. Sabalenka and also Swiatek are actually the favorites, but an entire bunch of various other contenders are in the mix.Here are my beloved choices to succeed the 2024 U.S. Open women's singles title.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is actually well rested and motivated, having overlooked Wimbledon due to a shoulder problem just before neglecting the Olympics. The Belarusian is back along with a vengeance on Northern American challenging courts. She is actually going over a name in Cincinnati title, where she finished off both Swiatek and also Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka was second best at the USA Open last year don't be actually surprised if she goes one action even farther.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's prep work for the united state Open was best. The 30-year-old American succeeded the Toronto title before completing second best to Sabalenka in Cincy. An indigenous New Yorker, Pegula will definitely enjoy considerable home-court conveniences at this celebration. She met the quarters at Blush Meadows in 2022 and simply could copulate this time around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is a fascinating longshot play. The Spaniard has reached the top as higher as No. 2 worldwide, so there is actually no doubt she has the skill to win a bang. Badosa is actually back from accident and in stellar kind, winning the Washington, D.C. headline before a semifinal operate in Cincinnati (dropped to Pegula in 3 collections). The 26-year-old has a positive draw at the Billie Jean King National Ping Pong Center, where she meet not encounter Sabalenka until the semis and Swiatek till the final.Ricky contributes to 10sballs. com as well as also sustains his own ping pong web site, The Grandstand.
