.Even though Iga Swiatek is actually comfortably No. 1 around the world, there is really a respectable volume of on the WTA Excursion currently. 3 different females have actually gained the first 3 majors in 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), and also Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon). Include the Paris Olympics right into the formula and also it's four different winners (Qinwen Zheng). Furthermore, five different ladies have gained the U.S. Open headline over the past five times. In the final one decade, simply Naomi Osaka has actually succeeded it twice.All of that ought to produce an interesting competition. Sabalenka as well as Swiatek are the preferences, yet an entire multitude of other opponents are in the mix.Here are my favored choices to succeed the 2024 USA Open women's singles title.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is properly rested as well as motivated, having missed Wimbledon because of a shoulder trouble before leaving out the Olympics. The Belarusian is actually back along with a counterattack on North American hard courts. She is actually coming off a name in Cincinnati title, where she defeated both Swiatek as well as Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka was actually second best at the U.S. Open last year don't be stunned if she goes one action further.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's preparation for the U.S. Open was actually ideal. The 30-year-old American won the Toronto title before ending up runner-up to Sabalenka in Cincy. A native New Yorker, Pegula will delight in substantial home-court conveniences at this occasion. She reached the quarters at Blush Meadows in 2022 and only could go all the way this time around around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is actually an interesting longshot play. The Spaniard has actually topped as higher as No. 2 worldwide, therefore there is no doubt she has the talent to win a bang. Badosa is actually back from accident and also in outstanding kind, succeeding the Washington, D.C. label in advance of a semifinal operate in Cincinnati (dropped to Pegula in 3 sets). The 26-year-old possesses a favorable draw at the Billie Jean Master National Tennis Center, where she encounter certainly not experience Sabalenka until the semis and Swiatek until the final.Ricky contributes to 10sballs. com and also preserves his very own tennis website, The Grandstand.
