.Even though Iga Swiatek is easily No. 1 on earth, there is in fact a good quantity of equality on the WTA Scenic tour currently. 3 different women have actually won the 1st 3 majors in 2024: Aryna Sabalenka (Australian Open), Swiatek (French Open), as well as Barbora Krejcikova (Wimbledon).

Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka is actually effectively relaxed and also inspired, having actually skipped Wimbledon as a result of a shoulder issue prior to leaving out the Olympics. The Belarusian is back with a revenge on North American challenging courts. She is actually going over a title in Cincinnati title, where she defeated both Swiatek as well as Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka was actually runner-up at the united state Open in 2013 don't be startled if she goes one step further.
Jessica Pegula.
Pegula's preparation for the united state Open was best. The 30-year-old United States gained the Toronto label prior to completing runner-up to Sabalenka in Cincy. An indigenous New Yorker, Pegula will definitely appreciate considerable home-court advantage at this occasion. She achieved the fourths at Blush Meadows in 2022 and also only could copulate this time around.
Paula Badosa.
Badosa is actually an appealing longshot play. The Spaniard has actually topped as higher as No. 2 on the planet, so there is actually certainly she possesses the skill to gain a bang. Badosa is back from personal injury and also in excellent type, succeeding the Washington, D.C. title before a semifinal operate in Cincinnati (shed to Pegula in three sets). The 26-year-old has an advantageous draw at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, where she meet certainly not experience Sabalenka up until the partially and also Swiatek till the final.Ricky provides to 10sballs. com as well as likewise keeps his very own ping pong site, The Grandstand.
