.Even though Iga Swiatek is pleasantly No. 1 around the world, there is in fact a nice amount of equality on the WTA Scenic tour currently. Three various girls have won the initial 3 learn 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), and also Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon). Incorporate the Paris Olympics into the formula and also it is actually four various victors (Qinwen Zheng). Moreover, 5 various girls have gained the U.S. Open title over the past five times. In the final 10 years, just Naomi Osaka has actually won it twice.All of that ought to produce an exciting event. Sabalenka and also Swiatek are actually the faves, however a whole lot of various other opponents reside in the mix.Here are my preferred selections to gain the 2024 USA Open females's single people headline.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is actually well relaxed and also determined, having skipped Wimbledon due to a shoulder trouble just before neglecting the Olympics. The Belarusian is actually back along with a counterattack on North United States challenging courts. She is actually going over a title in Cincinnati name, where she defeated both Swiatek as well as Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka was runner-up at the USA Open in 2013 don't be actually surprised if she goes one action further.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's preparation for the U.S. Open was excellent. The 30-year-old American succeeded the Toronto title prior to completing runner-up to Sabalenka in Cincy. A native New Yorker, Pegula will certainly enjoy substantial home-court conveniences at this event. She reached the fourths at Flushing Meadows in 2022 and also merely may go all the way this moment around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is an interesting longshot play. The Spaniard has peaked as higher as No. 2 in the world, so there is certainly she possesses the skill to gain a slam. Badosa is actually back from personal injury and in stellar form, gaining the Washington, D.C. headline before a semifinal operate in Cincinnati (shed to Pegula in 3 collections). The 26-year-old has a favorable draw at the Billie Jean Master National Ping Pong Center, where she get to know not experience Sabalenka until the partially as well as Swiatek till the final.Ricky adds to 10sballs. com and likewise sustains his own tennis internet site, The Grandstand.
