.Even though Iga Swiatek is actually easily No. 1 around the world, there is in fact a nice quantity of equality on the WTA Scenic tour at the moment. 3 various women have won the initial three majors in 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), and also Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon). Include the Paris Olympics into the formula and also it's 4 various champions (Qinwen Zheng). Furthermore, five different females have gained the U.S. Open label over recent five periods. In the last one decade, just Naomi Osaka has gained it twice.All of that need to create an intriguing tournament. Sabalenka as well as Swiatek are the preferences, however an entire multitude of other opponents are in the mix.Here are my preferred selections to succeed the 2024 USA Open girls's single people title.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is well rested and also enthusiastic, having missed out on Wimbledon due to a shoulder trouble prior to passing up the Olympics. The Belarusian is actually back along with a vengeance on Northern American challenging courts. She is going over a name in Cincinnati name, where she finished off both Swiatek and also Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka was second best at the USA Open in 2015 do not be actually shocked if she goes one step further.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's preparation for the USA Open was actually perfect. The 30-year-old American won the Toronto title just before ending up runner-up to Sabalenka in Cincy. An indigenous New Yorker, Pegula will definitely delight in considerable home-court advantage at this celebration. She reached the fourths at Blush Meadows in 2022 and only might go all the way this time around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is a fascinating longshot play. The Spaniard has actually come to a head as high as No. 2 in the world, thus there is actually no doubt she has the skill to gain a bang. Badosa is back from trauma and also in outstanding type, winning the Washington, D.C. label before a semifinal operate in Cincinnati (lost to Pegula in 3 sets). The 26-year-old has a beneficial draw at the Billie Jean Master National Ping Pong Center, where she encounter not deal with Sabalenka up until the semis and Swiatek up until the final.Ricky contributes to 10sballs. com and also keeps his very own ping pong web site, The Grandstand.
