.Although Iga Swiatek is comfortably No. 1 on earth, there is in fact a decent quantity of parity on the WTA Tour currently. 3 various females have actually gained the initial 3 majors in 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), as well as Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon). Add the Paris Olympics right into the formula as well as it's 4 various victors (Qinwen Zheng). In addition, five different ladies have won the USA Open title over recent five times. In the last one decade, merely Naomi Osaka has won it twice.All of that should produce an appealing competition. Sabalenka as well as Swiatek are the preferences, yet an entire bunch of other opponents remain in the mix.Here are my favored choices to succeed the 2024 U.S. Open girls's singles headline.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is properly relaxed as well as enthusiastic, having missed out on Wimbledon due to a shoulder concern just before neglecting the Olympics. The Belarusian is back with a counterattack on North United States challenging courts. She is actually coming off a title in Cincinnati title, where she defeated both Swiatek and Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka was second best at the USA Open in 2014 do not be actually stunned if she goes one measure even farther.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's prep work for the united state Open was perfect. The 30-year-old American won the Toronto headline just before completing second best to Sabalenka in Cincy. An indigenous New Yorker, Pegula is going to enjoy significant home-court benefit at this occasion. She reached the one-fourths at Blush Meadows in 2022 and simply may copulate this time around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is an interesting longshot play. The Spaniard has topped as high as No. 2 on the planet, so there is actually certainly she has the skill to gain a slam. Badosa is actually back coming from trauma and also in stellar type, gaining the Washington, D.C. title before a semifinal operate in Cincinnati (lost to Pegula in three collections). The 26-year-old has a desirable draw at the Billie Jean Master National Tennis Center, where she get to know not experience Sabalenka up until the partially as well as Swiatek up until the final.Ricky contributes to 10sballs. com as well as also keeps his personal ping pong site, The Grandstand.
