.Despite The Fact That Iga Swiatek is comfortably No. 1 in the world, there is actually a good amount of equality on the WTA Trip presently. 3 different females have gained the very first three majors in 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), and Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon). Include the Paris Olympics in to the equation and also it is actually 4 various winners (Qinwen Zheng). Moreover, five different women have gained the U.S. Open title over the past five times. In the final one decade, only Naomi Osaka has actually succeeded it twice.All of that should make for an exciting tournament. Sabalenka and Swiatek are the favorites, but a whole bunch of various other opponents remain in the mix.Here are my preferred picks to win the 2024 U.S. Open girls's single people label.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is actually effectively rested as well as encouraged, having actually overlooked Wimbledon as a result of a shoulder problem prior to skipping the Olympics. The Belarusian is back along with a vengeance on N. American difficult courts. She is coming off a name in Cincinnati title, where she finished off both Swiatek as well as Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka was runner-up at the U.S. Open in 2014 do not be actually amazed if she goes one measure a greater distance.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's preparation for the united state Open was actually perfect. The 30-year-old United States won the Toronto label before ending up runner-up to Sabalenka in Cincy. An indigenous New Yorker, Pegula will certainly delight in considerable home-court advantage at this event. She achieved the fourths at Flushing Meadows in 2022 as well as just may copulate this time around around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is actually a fascinating longshot play. The Spaniard has actually come to a head as higher as No. 2 on earth, therefore there is actually no doubt she has the ability to succeed a bang. Badosa is actually back from personal injury and in excellent kind, succeeding the Washington, D.C. label before a semifinal run in Cincinnati (dropped to Pegula in 3 sets). The 26-year-old possesses an ideal draw at the Billie Jean Master National Tennis Center, where she meet certainly not face Sabalenka until the semis and Swiatek until the final.Ricky contributes to 10sballs. com as well as also maintains his personal ping pong website, The Grandstand.
