.Despite The Fact That Iga Swiatek is comfortably No. 1 around the world, there is actually a decent quantity of parity on the WTA Excursion at the moment. Three various females have won the very first 3 learn 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 is actually four various champions (Qinwen Zheng). In addition, 5 different girls have won the U.S. Open title over recent 5 times. In the final 10 years, simply Naomi Osaka has succeeded it twice.All of that must make for a fascinating competition. Sabalenka and also Swiatek are actually the favorites, yet an entire host of various other contenders remain in the mix.Here are my preferred picks to succeed the 2024 U.S. Open women's singles headline.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is properly rested and also motivated, having missed Wimbledon due to a shoulder complication prior to skipping the Olympics. The Belarusian is actually back with a vengeance on N. American challenging courts. She is actually coming off a name in Cincinnati title, where she finished off both Swiatek and also Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka was runner-up at the USA Open last year don't be actually shocked if she goes one action even farther.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's preparation for the united state Open was ideal. The 30-year-old United States succeeded the Toronto title prior to completing second best to Sabalenka in Cincy. A native New Yorker, Pegula will certainly take pleasure in substantial home-court perk at this event. She achieved the fourths at Blush Meadows in 2022 and merely may copulate this time around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is actually a fascinating longshot play. The Spaniard has peaked as higher as No. 2 around the world, so there is actually no question she has the talent to gain a bang. Badosa is actually back from accident as well as in outstanding kind, winning the Washington, D.C. headline in advance of a semifinal run in Cincinnati (shed to Pegula in 3 collections). The 26-year-old has an advantageous draw at the Billie Jean Master National Tennis Facility, where she get to know not experience Sabalenka until the semis as well as Swiatek till the final.Ricky adds to 10sballs. com as well as also sustains his very own tennis website, The Grandstand.
