.Even though Iga Swiatek is comfortably No. 1 on the planet, there is in fact a suitable amount of parity on the WTA Trip presently. Three different girls have gained the initial 3 majors in 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), and Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon). Incorporate the Paris Olympics right into the formula and also it's four different winners (Qinwen Zheng). Furthermore, 5 various females have gained the united state Open headline over recent 5 times. In the final 10 years, only Naomi Osaka has actually won it twice.All of that must produce an intriguing tournament. Sabalenka and also Swiatek are the favorites, but an entire bunch of other contenders are in the mix.Here are my favorite selections to succeed the 2024 U.S. Open ladies's songs label.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is properly relaxed as well as motivated, having skipped Wimbledon as a result of a shoulder trouble prior to passing up the Olympics. The Belarusian is back with a vengeance on Northern American hard courts. She is actually coming off a name in Cincinnati title, where she defeated both Swiatek and also Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka was actually runner-up at the USA Open in 2013 don't be actually shocked if she goes one step further.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's prep work for the USA Open was actually best. The 30-year-old American succeeded the Toronto label just before finishing runner-up to Sabalenka in Cincy. A native New Yorker, Pegula is going to take pleasure in considerable home-court conveniences at this celebration. She met the quarters at Blush Meadows in 2022 and only may go all the way this time around around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is actually an appealing longshot play. The Spaniard has actually topped as high as No. 2 in the world, thus there is actually no doubt she has the ability to win a slam. Badosa is actually back coming from injury and also in excellent type, succeeding the Washington, D.C. label ahead of a semifinal operate in Cincinnati (shed to Pegula in 3 collections). The 26-year-old has a beneficial draw at the Billie Jean Master National Ping Pong Center, where she encounter certainly not experience Sabalenka up until the partially and also Swiatek till the final.Ricky contributes to 10sballs. com as well as also preserves his personal tennis site, The Grandstand.
