.Although Iga Swiatek is actually comfortably No. 1 around the world, there is actually a nice quantity of on the WTA Tour currently. 3 different women have gained the initial three majors in 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), as well as Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon). Add the Paris Olympics into the formula and also it's four different winners (Qinwen Zheng). Furthermore, 5 different ladies have actually succeeded the USA Open label over the past 5 times. In the last 10 years, merely Naomi Osaka has actually succeeded it twice.All of that need to produce an appealing tournament. Sabalenka and Swiatek are actually the favorites, yet a whole host of other challengers are in the mix.Here are my preferred choices to win the 2024 USA Open females's single people label.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is actually properly relaxed and also motivated, having actually missed Wimbledon as a result of a shoulder problem just before skipping the Olympics. The Belarusian is back with a wrath on Northern United States hard courts. She is actually going over a title in Cincinnati title, where she finished off both Swiatek and also Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka was runner-up at the U.S. Open in 2015 do not be surprised if she goes one step further.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's planning for the USA Open was actually best. The 30-year-old American gained the Toronto label before finishing runner-up to Sabalenka in Cincy. A native New Yorker, Pegula will appreciate notable home-court advantage at this occasion. She reached the fourths at Blush Meadows in 2022 and merely might go all the way this time around around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is actually a fascinating longshot play. The Spaniard has topped as high as No. 2 worldwide, therefore there is actually no question she possesses the talent to succeed a bang. Badosa is actually back coming from trauma as well as in outstanding kind, gaining the Washington, D.C. title ahead of a semifinal run in Cincinnati (lost to Pegula in 3 collections). The 26-year-old possesses a positive draw at the Billie Jean King National Ping Pong Facility, where she meet not encounter Sabalenka up until the semis and Swiatek till the final.Ricky provides to 10sballs. com as well as likewise keeps his very own tennis web site, The Grandstand.
