.Despite The Fact That Iga Swiatek is easily No. 1 around the world, there is in fact a suitable amount of parity on the WTA Trip at the moment. 3 different girls have actually gained the 1st three majors in 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), and also Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon). Incorporate the Paris Olympics into the formula and also it's 4 various champions (Qinwen Zheng). In addition, 5 various ladies have gained the united state Open label over recent 5 seasons. In the last one decade, simply Naomi Osaka has gained it twice.All of that should produce an intriguing tournament. Sabalenka and Swiatek are the favorites, but a whole lot of other contenders reside in the mix.Here are my favorite picks to gain the 2024 united state Open females's singles title.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is well rested as well as encouraged, having actually skipped Wimbledon as a result of a shoulder concern just before leaving out the Olympics. The Belarusian is actually back with a vengeance on N. American difficult courts. She is coming off a title in Cincinnati title, where she defeated both Swiatek and Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka was second best at the U.S. Open in 2013 don't be shocked if she goes one step even farther.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's preparation for the U.S. Open was actually best. The 30-year-old American gained the Toronto label prior to completing second best to Sabalenka in Cincy. A native New Yorker, Pegula is going to take pleasure in significant home-court benefit at this occasion. She reached the fourths at Blush Meadows in 2022 and also simply could go all the way this moment around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is actually an interesting longshot play. The Spaniard has actually topped as high as No. 2 in the world, therefore there is no doubt she possesses the skill to win a slam. Badosa is actually back from trauma and in outstanding type, gaining the Washington, D.C. label in advance of a semifinal run in Cincinnati (lost to Pegula in three sets). The 26-year-old possesses a desirable draw at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, where she meet not deal with Sabalenka up until the semis as well as Swiatek until the final.Ricky provides to 10sballs. com as well as also sustains his own ping pong site, The Grandstand.
