.Although Iga Swiatek is actually comfortably No. 1 worldwide, there is in fact a decent amount of parity on the WTA Tour right now. Three various women have gained the 1st 3 majors in 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), and also Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon). Add the Paris Olympics into the formula and it is actually four various winners (Qinwen Zheng). Furthermore, 5 different ladies have succeeded the U.S. Open label over recent five periods. In the last one decade, just Naomi Osaka has actually gained it twice.All of that must produce an appealing event. Sabalenka and also Swiatek are the favorites, yet an entire multitude of various other challengers remain in the mix.Here are my favorite picks to succeed the 2024 USA Open females's songs title.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is properly relaxed as well as determined, having missed out on Wimbledon due to a shoulder problem just before leaving out the Olympics. The Belarusian is back with a vengeance on N. United States tough 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 united state Open in 2015 don't be actually shocked if she goes one step farther.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's prep work for the united state Open was actually ideal. The 30-year-old United States succeeded the Toronto label prior to completing second best to Sabalenka in Cincy. A native New Yorker, Pegula will certainly delight in notable home-court benefit at this celebration. She achieved the quarters at Blush Meadows in 2022 and also just might go all the way this moment around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is actually an interesting longshot play. The Spaniard has reached the top as higher as No. 2 around the world, so there is no doubt she has the skill to win a slam. Badosa is actually back from accident as well as in outstanding form, gaining the Washington, D.C. label before a semifinal run in Cincinnati (dropped to Pegula in 3 sets). The 26-year-old possesses a positive draw at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Facility, where she meet certainly not experience Sabalenka until the partially and also Swiatek till the final.Ricky adds to 10sballs. com and likewise keeps his personal ping pong website, The Grandstand.
