2024 US Open Women’s Draw Preview: Sabalenka, Swiatek, Gauff Favorites In New York
Who’ll take charge at the US Open in the women’s draw? The women’s tour has lacked any player who can dominate on all surfaces.
Aryna Sabalaneka is arguably the best on the hard courts. She just won Cincinnati and took the last two Australian Open and made the US Open final last year. World No. 1 Iga Swiatek has struggled off clay in Slams and Coco Gauff has been stuck in a slump since her massive win last year.
Elena Rybakina has the goods but not the health, Jessica Pegula is in form but is 0-6 in Slam quarterfinals and Qinwen Zheng and Jasmine Paolini are new threats.
Bottom line, someone is going to win and someone is likely going to win their first US Open.
Top seeds are: 1 Iga Swiatek, 2 Aryna Sabalenka, 3 Coco Gauff, 4 Elena Rybakina, 5 Jasmine Paolini, 6 Jessica Pegula, 7 Qinwen Zheng, 8 Barbora Krejcikova, 9 Maria Sakkari, 10 Jelena Ostapenko, 11 Danielle Collins, 12 Daria Kasatkina, 13 Emma Navarro, 14 Madison Keys, 15 Anna Kalinskaya, 16 Liudmila Samsonova.
