The 2024 season in women's tennis promises to be interesting and unpredictable. It is likely that the opening Grand Slam tournament of the Australian Open in the new campaign will also be spectacular and surprising for tennis fans. Will the Polish athlete be able to maintain her leading position in the WTA rankings? We recommend placing bets on the results of the new season on the official mosbet website.
Świątek
The leader of the world rankings, the 22-year-old Polish woman had a great 2023, with a balance of 68:11. However, the major took only one - on its favorite clay surface. As for grass, at Wimbledon Iga lost in the quarterfinals, and stopped at hard slams already at the fourth stage. Of course, Świątek is a top athlete who won the last two tournaments of the year very confidently, including the final one. It's time for her to shoot on hard courts, where the tennis player from Poland has so far only one triumph at the US Open 2022.
Sabalenko
The 24-year-old Belarusian had every chance to remain at the top of the world classification at the end of the year. Still, Arina started the 2023 season successfully, winning the Grand Slam tournament in Melbourne. Then she added semi-finals at Roland Garros and Wimbledon, and also became a finalist in New York at a major in the USA. But at the final Masters, Sabalenka did not perform very confidently, making it through the group with difficulty, and lost to Shventek without a fight in the semifinals.
Gauff
The third racket in the world, the young American started last season with a title in Auckland. Then she reached the fourth stage at the Australian Open. At the French Open, Coco played well, reaching the quarterfinals. But at Wimbledon, the 19-year-old tennis player failed, losing to her compatriot Kenin at the start of the event. But Gauff had a strong ending to the season, winning Cincinnati and then the US Open major. After that, the athlete achieved two semi-finals in Beijing and at the Final Masters.
Rybakina
The 24-year-old representative of Kazakhstan had a controversial season. On the one hand, Rybakina started very well, reaching the Slam finals in Melbourne, Miami, and also won Indian Wells and Rome. But at Roland Garros, Elena withdrew from the third round, then there was the Wimbledon quarterfinals. After that, on hard, the tennis player reached the semifinals in Beijing and Montreal, but lost at the USO in the third round.
Pegula
The experienced American is in fifth position in the world rankings. Pegula did not have any great success at the 2023 Grand Slam. She qualified for the quarterfinals in Melbourne and Wimbledon, was eliminated in the third round at Roland Garros and was eliminated in the fourth round at her home major. You can note the final in Doha, semi-finals in Dubai, Charleston and Miami. The second part of the season was a success for Jessica. She won two trophies at once: Seoul and Montreal, and also reached the finals in Tokyo and the Masters Cup.
Jabeur
The African representative remained in the top ten at the end of the year. Jabeur won in Charleston, Ningbo, and reached the final at Wimbledon for the second year in a row. Eyc is also in the quarterfinals at the French Open, fourth round of the US Open. But the Tunisian failed at the Aus Open, losing in the second stage of the tournament. In general, the year for the sixth tennis player in the world turned out to be somewhat worse than the previous one.
Vondrousova
Marketa took off on grass in 2023, winning Wimbledon, although she had not previously shone there at all. You can also note the semifinals of Linz, the quarterfinals of Adelaide, Berlin, Cincinnati and the US Open. Two more Grand Slams turned out to be unsuccessful for Vondrousova: the third round of the Australian Open and the second at Roland Garros. At the Masters, she lost in all three subgroup battles.
Muchova
27-year-old Carolina made the top 10 in 2023. Muchova reached the finals at the French Open and in Cincinnati, and reached the semifinals in New York. The Czech made it to the quarter finals in Auckland, Indian Wells, and Dubai. Unfortunately, the tennis player did not play at the finals in Mexico due to injury.
Sakkari
The 28-year-old Greek woman suffered somewhat last season. This is obvious based on the results at the Grand Slams. Sakkari reached the third round of Melbourne and was eliminated at the start of the French Open, US Open and Wimbledon. Maria still had some successes during the season, otherwise she would not have retained her place in the top ten. She has ¼ Beijing, San Diego, semi-finals of Linz, Indian Wells, Doha, Madrid, Berlin, Tokyo. In addition, the Greek tennis player became a finalist in Washington and won the trophy in Guadalajara.
Krejcikova
The tenth number in the world ranking spent the season with swings, either a title or a series of defeats. The Czech took trophies in Dubai, San Diego, and reached the finals in Zhenzhou and Birmingham. Krejcikova reached the fourth stage at the Australian Open, was eliminated at the start of the US Open, Roland Garros and in the second round of Wimbledon.
Possible title contenders
In addition to the players in the top 10 rankings, it is also worth noting Kenin and Osaka, who have already won in Melbourne. With optimal conditions, the Japanese woman has a chance to go far. We can mention Collins and Azarenka who recently played in the final. Experienced players can show themselves: Kvitova, Keys, Bencic, Wozniacki, Garcia, Svitolina.
Our forecast
The main favorite of the competition is Šwiatek. The Polish athlete is capable of improving on hard courts. In Melbourne, the first racket of the planet still does not have a victory. Rybakina and Sabalenka can stop her here on the way to the title, but Gauff is a convenient opponent. Pegula, Jabeur, Vondrousova and Muchova are unlikely to be able to stop anyone from the top four. We believe that Coco and Arina have the greatest chances of winning the Aus Open.
