.Even though Iga Swiatek is actually comfortably No. 1 on earth, there is in fact a nice quantity of on the WTA Scenic tour right now. Three various ladies have actually gained the very first 3 learn 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), and Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon). Add the Paris Olympics right into the equation and it's 4 different winners (Qinwen Zheng). In addition, five different ladies have won the U.S. Open label over recent 5 times. In the last one decade, merely Naomi Osaka has actually succeeded it twice.All of that need to produce an intriguing tournament. Sabalenka and also Swiatek are actually the preferences, but a whole lot of other contenders remain in the mix.Here are my preferred choices to succeed the 2024 USA Open females's singles headline.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is well relaxed as well as motivated, having actually overlooked Wimbledon due to a shoulder trouble before skipping the Olympics. The Belarusian is back along with a revenge on Northern American hard courts. She is actually going over a title in Cincinnati title, where she finished off both Swiatek and also Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka was second best at the united state Open in 2013 do not be actually startled if she goes one step farther.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's prep work for the USA Open was best. The 30-year-old United States succeeded the Toronto label just before completing runner-up to Sabalenka in Cincy. A native New Yorker, Pegula will definitely enjoy notable home-court benefit at this event. She reached the quarters at Flushing Meadows in 2022 and also simply could go all the way this time around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is actually a fascinating longshot play. The Spaniard has actually peaked as high as No. 2 around the world, so there is certainly she possesses the skill to gain a bang. Badosa is back from injury and also in excellent form, gaining the Washington, D.C. headline in advance of a semifinal operate in Cincinnati (shed to Pegula in three collections). The 26-year-old has an advantageous draw at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, where she meet certainly not experience Sabalenka up until the partially and Swiatek up until the final.Ricky contributes to 10sballs. com as well as additionally sustains his very own tennis website, The Grandstand.
