.Even though Iga Swiatek is pleasantly No. 1 in the world, there is really a good quantity of equality on the WTA Scenic tour currently. Three various ladies have gained the initial three majors in 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), and also Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon). Incorporate the Paris Olympics right into the equation as well as it's four different champions (Qinwen Zheng). Furthermore, 5 different women have actually gained the U.S. Open headline over the past five seasons. In the last one decade, simply Naomi Osaka has actually gained it twice.All of that need to make for a fascinating competition. Sabalenka and also Swiatek are the preferences, however an entire lot of other contenders reside in the mix.Here are my favored choices to gain the 2024 USA Open ladies's single people headline.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is properly rested and encouraged, having actually overlooked Wimbledon due to a shoulder complication just before passing up the Olympics. The Belarusian is actually back with a revenge on N. United States challenging courts. She is going over a name in Cincinnati title, where she defeated both Swiatek and Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka was actually runner-up at the USA Open in 2015 don't be shocked if she goes one step further.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's prep work for the U.S. Open was actually best. The 30-year-old United States succeeded the Toronto headline just before finishing runner-up to Sabalenka in Cincy. An indigenous New Yorker, Pegula will certainly delight in notable home-court perk at this event. She reached the fourths at Flushing Meadows in 2022 and simply could copulate this moment around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is an intriguing longshot play. The Spaniard has actually topped as higher as No. 2 in the world, therefore there is no question she has the talent to succeed a slam. Badosa is back coming from accident as well as in outstanding type, succeeding the Washington, D.C. headline ahead of a semifinal run in Cincinnati (dropped to Pegula in three sets). The 26-year-old has a positive draw at the Billie Jean Master National Ping Pong Facility, where she get to know not experience Sabalenka till the semis and also Swiatek up until the final.Ricky adds to 10sballs. com as well as likewise preserves his personal ping pong site, The Grandstand.
