.Despite The Fact That Iga Swiatek is actually easily No. 1 on earth, there is really a nice quantity of parity on the WTA Scenic tour presently. 3 different ladies have won the initial 3 majors in 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), and also Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon). Add the Paris Olympics right into the equation and it's four various winners (Qinwen Zheng). Moreover, 5 various girls have won the united state Open label over the past five seasons. In the final one decade, simply Naomi Osaka has actually won it twice.All of that need to create a fascinating tournament. Sabalenka and also Swiatek are the faves, however an entire lot of various other contenders remain in the mix.Here are my favorite selections to gain the 2024 united state Open women's singles title.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is actually effectively rested and also determined, having actually overlooked Wimbledon due to a shoulder issue before neglecting the Olympics. The Belarusian is back with a revenge on North American tough courts. She is coming off a name in Cincinnati title, where she finished off both Swiatek and also Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka was second best at the U.S. Open last year do not be shocked if she goes one measure further.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's preparation for the united state Open was perfect. The 30-year-old American gained the Toronto title just before ending up runner-up to Sabalenka in Cincy. An indigenous New Yorker, Pegula will definitely appreciate substantial home-court benefit at this celebration. She met the fourths at Flushing Meadows in 2022 and only might go all the way this moment around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is actually a fascinating longshot play. The Spaniard has peaked as higher as No. 2 on earth, thus there is actually no doubt she possesses the skill to succeed a slam. Badosa is actually back from injury and also in stellar type, succeeding the Washington, D.C. headline before a semifinal run in Cincinnati (lost to Pegula in 3 collections). The 26-year-old possesses a beneficial draw at the Billie Jean Master National Tennis Center, where she encounter certainly not experience Sabalenka until the semis as well as Swiatek till the final.Ricky provides to 10sballs. com as well as also sustains his own ping pong web site, The Grandstand.
