.Even though Iga Swiatek is easily No. 1 on the planet, there is in fact a good amount of equality on the WTA Tour at the moment. Three different girls have gained the first three majors in 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), and Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon). Include the Paris Olympics right into the equation as well as it is actually four different winners (Qinwen Zheng). Furthermore, five various women have gained the USA Open title over the past 5 seasons. In the last 10 years, simply Naomi Osaka has actually succeeded it twice.All of that need to produce an interesting event. Sabalenka and Swiatek are the preferences, however a whole lot of other competitors remain in the mix.Here are my preferred choices to succeed the 2024 united state Open girls's singles label.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is actually properly relaxed as well as enthusiastic, having actually skipped Wimbledon due to a shoulder complication prior to passing up the Olympics. The Belarusian is back with a counterattack on North American challenging courts. She is going over 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 2014 do not be actually surprised if she goes one measure farther.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's preparation for the USA Open was actually perfect. The 30-year-old American gained the Toronto title before finishing runner-up to Sabalenka in Cincy. An indigenous New Yorker, Pegula will definitely take pleasure in considerable home-court perk at this activity. She met the one-fourths at Blush Meadows in 2022 and only might go all the way this time around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is actually an interesting longshot play. The Spaniard has actually come to a head as high as No. 2 around the world, so there is no question she has the talent to gain a bang. Badosa is actually back coming from injury and also in stellar form, gaining the Washington, D.C. headline ahead of a semifinal run in Cincinnati (dropped to Pegula in three collections). The 26-year-old possesses a desirable draw at the Billie Jean King National Ping Pong Facility, where she encounter not experience Sabalenka till the partially as well as Swiatek up until the final.Ricky provides to 10sballs. com and additionally sustains his own ping pong website, The Grandstand.
