.Although Iga Swiatek is easily No. 1 on the planet, there is in fact a nice volume of on the WTA Excursion at the moment. 3 various girls have actually succeeded the 1st 3 majors in 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), and Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon). Incorporate the Paris Olympics into the formula as well as it's 4 various winners (Qinwen Zheng). Additionally, 5 various females have actually gained the USA Open label over recent 5 periods. In the last one decade, only Naomi Osaka has actually won it twice.All of that should produce an interesting competition. Sabalenka as well as Swiatek are actually the faves, but an entire host of various other challengers remain in the mix.Here are my favorite picks to win the 2024 united state Open females's single people label.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is actually well relaxed and enthusiastic, having actually overlooked Wimbledon as a result of a shoulder complication just before neglecting the Olympics. The Belarusian is back with a counterattack on North American difficult courts. She is coming off a name in Cincinnati title, where she defeated both Swiatek as well as Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka was runner-up at the U.S. Open in 2013 don't be surprised if she goes one step even farther.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's preparation for the united state Open was actually excellent. The 30-year-old United States succeeded the Toronto headline prior to completing runner-up to Sabalenka in Cincy. A native New Yorker, Pegula is going to take pleasure in considerable home-court advantage at this activity. She achieved the fourths at Blush Meadows in 2022 and only may go all the way this time around around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is an intriguing longshot play. The Spaniard has come to a head as high as No. 2 in the world, so there is no question she has the ability to win a slam. Badosa is back from trauma and in outstanding form, gaining the Washington, D.C. headline ahead of a semifinal run in Cincinnati (dropped to Pegula in 3 sets). The 26-year-old possesses a positive draw at the Billie Jean King National Ping Pong Facility, where she get to know not experience Sabalenka until the semis and Swiatek until the final.Ricky provides to 10sballs. com and also keeps his own tennis site, The Grandstand.
