.Despite The Fact That Iga Swiatek is actually conveniently No. 1 around the world, there is actually a suitable quantity of on the WTA Excursion presently. 3 various females have actually won the very first three majors in 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), and also Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon). Add the Paris Olympics right into the equation and also it is actually 4 different victors (Qinwen Zheng). Additionally, 5 various females have actually gained the united state Open headline over recent 5 periods. In the last ten years, merely Naomi Osaka has gained it twice.All of that should make for an exciting competition. Sabalenka and also Swiatek are the favorites, yet an entire bunch of various other challengers are in the mix.Here are my favored choices to gain the 2024 USA Open ladies's songs label.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is properly relaxed and also encouraged, having actually missed out on Wimbledon because of a shoulder complication prior to passing up the Olympics. The Belarusian is actually back along with a counterattack on N. United States tough courts. She is going over a name in Cincinnati title, where she finished off both Swiatek and also Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka was actually second best at the united state Open last year do not be shocked if she goes one step even farther.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's planning for the U.S. Open was actually excellent. The 30-year-old American succeeded the Toronto headline just before ending up runner-up to Sabalenka in Cincy. An indigenous New Yorker, Pegula is going to take pleasure in considerable home-court benefit at this occasion. She met the fourths at Blush Meadows in 2022 and simply might go all the way this time around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is actually an appealing longshot play. The Spaniard has actually peaked as higher as No. 2 in the world, so there is actually no doubt she possesses the ability to gain a bang. Badosa is back from trauma and also in excellent form, succeeding the Washington, D.C. label ahead of a semifinal operate in Cincinnati (lost to Pegula in 3 collections). The 26-year-old possesses a positive draw at the Billie Jean Master National Ping Pong Center, where she get to know certainly not face Sabalenka till the semis and also Swiatek till the final.Ricky provides to 10sballs. com and also keeps his very own ping pong site, The Grandstand.
