.Despite The Fact That Iga Swiatek is easily No. 1 on earth, there is really a respectable volume of on the WTA Scenic tour presently. Three various women have actually succeeded the first 3 majors in 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), and also Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon). Incorporate the Paris Olympics into the equation and also it's four different winners (Qinwen Zheng). Additionally, 5 various females have actually gained the united state Open title over recent five periods. In the last 10 years, merely Naomi Osaka has actually won it twice.All of that must make for an exciting tournament. Sabalenka and Swiatek are actually the preferences, yet an entire lot of various other challengers are in the mix.Here are my preferred picks to win the 2024 U.S. Open girls's single people title.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is actually well rested and also inspired, having missed Wimbledon because of a shoulder problem just before neglecting the Olympics. The Belarusian is actually back with a wrath on Northern United States difficult courts. She is actually going over a name in Cincinnati title, where she finished off both Swiatek as well as Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka was actually runner-up at the united state Open in 2014 don't be actually startled if she goes one measure even farther.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's prep work for the U.S. Open was ideal. The 30-year-old United States succeeded the Toronto headline prior to finishing second best to Sabalenka in Cincy. A native New Yorker, Pegula will definitely enjoy notable home-court benefit at this event. She reached the quarters at Blush Meadows in 2022 and also only could go all the way this time around around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is an interesting longshot play. The Spaniard has come to a head as high as No. 2 on earth, therefore there is actually certainly she has the ability to gain a slam. Badosa is back from trauma and in excellent type, winning the Washington, D.C. title before a semifinal run in Cincinnati (lost to Pegula in three sets). The 26-year-old has a positive draw at the Billie Jean King National Ping Pong Facility, where she get to know certainly not deal with Sabalenka till the partially as well as Swiatek till the final.Ricky provides to 10sballs. com and likewise maintains his very own ping pong web site, The Grandstand.
