.Although Iga Swiatek is actually easily No. 1 worldwide, there is really a respectable quantity of equality on the WTA Tour at the moment. Three different girls have succeeded the 1st 3 majors in 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), as well as Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon). Incorporate the Paris Olympics right into the formula as well as it's 4 different victors (Qinwen Zheng). In addition, five various ladies have actually won the U.S. Open headline over recent 5 periods. In the final ten years, only Naomi Osaka has actually succeeded it twice.All of that ought to create an exciting tournament. Sabalenka and also Swiatek are actually the faves, yet an entire bunch of various other challengers remain in the mix.Here are my favorite picks to win the 2024 U.S. Open females's songs headline.
Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is actually well relaxed and also determined, having skipped Wimbledon because of a shoulder problem before passing up the Olympics. The Belarusian is back with a wrath on Northern American tough courts. She is actually going over a name in Cincinnati name, where she finished off both Swiatek and also Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka was actually runner-up at the U.S. Open in 2013 don't be actually startled if she goes one action a greater distance.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's prep work for the USA Open was actually excellent. The 30-year-old United States succeeded the Toronto title before ending up second best to Sabalenka in Cincy. A native New Yorker, Pegula is going to take pleasure in notable home-court conveniences at this event. She reached the one-fourths at Flushing Meadows in 2022 and also merely may copulate this moment around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is a fascinating longshot play. The Spaniard has peaked as high as No. 2 on earth, thus there is actually no question she has the ability to win a slam. Badosa is actually back from accident as well as in stellar type, succeeding the Washington, D.C. title ahead of a semifinal operate in Cincinnati (lost to Pegula in 3 sets). The 26-year-old has a desirable draw at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Facility, where she get to know certainly not encounter Sabalenka until the semis as well as Swiatek till the final.Ricky adds to 10sballs. com as well as likewise maintains his own tennis internet site, The Grandstand.
