.Although Iga Swiatek is comfortably No. 1 worldwide, there is actually a respectable amount of parity on the WTA Scenic tour currently. Three various women have actually gained the 1st three majors in 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), and Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon). Incorporate the Paris Olympics right into the equation and it's four various victors (Qinwen Zheng). Additionally, five different women have actually gained the united state Open title over recent 5 times. In the last 10 years, just Naomi Osaka has actually succeeded it twice.All of that must produce an intriguing event. Sabalenka and Swiatek are actually the preferences, but a whole lot of various other contenders reside in the mix.Here are my favored choices to win the 2024 united state Open females's songs label.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is actually properly rested and determined, having missed out on Wimbledon as a result of a shoulder problem prior to leaving out the Olympics. The Belarusian is back along with a revenge on N. United States hard courts. She is coming off a name in Cincinnati title, where she finished off both Swiatek as well as Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka was actually second best at the USA Open last year do not be actually shocked if she goes one measure further.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's planning for the united state Open was actually ideal. The 30-year-old American won the Toronto title just before ending up second best to Sabalenka in Cincy. An indigenous New Yorker, Pegula will definitely appreciate significant home-court benefit at this event. She met the fourths at Blush Meadows in 2022 and also just may go all the way this time around around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is a fascinating longshot play. The Spaniard has peaked as higher as No. 2 on the planet, thus there is no doubt she possesses the talent to succeed a slam. Badosa is actually back from personal injury and also in excellent type, winning the Washington, D.C. label ahead of a semifinal operate in Cincinnati (lost to Pegula in three collections). The 26-year-old possesses a favorable draw at the Billie Jean King National Ping Pong Center, where she meet certainly not deal with Sabalenka till the partially as well as Swiatek till the final.Ricky contributes to 10sballs. com and likewise maintains his own ping pong internet site, The Grandstand.
