Two weeks of tennis with the best in the world lead to much discussion, and this US Open 2024 has been special for many reasons. We analyze in detail everything that happened in New York and how it may influence the near future. Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka were the main protagonists.

Perhaps it hasn't been the brightest and most publicized Grand Slam in its final rounds, but what this US Open 2024 has made clear is that there are tennis players willing to be an important part of the history of this sport. Jannik Sinner asserted his world number 1 status with remarkable naturalness and maturity, while Aryna Sabalenka displayed her untamable tigress character on hard courts, where she faces little opposition.

1. Jannik Sinner, a truly deserved number 1

The difficult moments related to his doping positives are now in the past, or are they? It seems that this odyssey has only strengthened the mentality of a genius at all levels, particularly shining in emotional management and tactical intelligence. His season is historic and deserved a new ticket to paradise.

2. Taylor Fritz, leap in quality with a bittersweet taste

At times, the American is judged summarily and irrationally for his lack of charisma and competitive cunning. However, his poor performance in the final should not overshadow a brilliant tournament on his part, where he pushed his limits and showed that he is still capable of seizing such opportunities.

3. Alcaraz and Djokovic feel the mental saturation

4. Alexander Zverev keeps stumbling over the same obstacle

It seemed like a perfect opportunity for the German to finally achieve that coveted prize he has been relentlessly seeking for so long. However, he delivered a dismal level of play against Fritz and watches as his chances of winning a Grand Slam fade with increasing intensity.

5. The dramatic loss of reliability among the top contenders

Medvedev has lost a significant part of his competitive spirit, Rublev is morally shattered, Ruud is facing an absolute existential crisis, Hurkacz is struggling physically, Tsitsipas doesn't recognize himself, De Miñaur and Dimitrov seem to have reached their limit... This is the situation among the men expected to challenge the favorites.

6. Aryna Sabalenka roars fiercely

An untamable beast, a player unreachable when inspired, yet tremendously difficult to beat even on bad days. The Belarusian has developed championship intangibles that make her nearly unbeatable on hard courts, rightly claiming her third Grand Slam title.

7. Jessica Pegula, perseverance pays off

She has earned the affection of all fans and the respect and admiration of her rivals for her work ethic and persistence in striving for improvement. She has been doing this for a long time and breaking through the quarterfinal barrier in a Grand Slam was key for her. She fought hard in the final, leaving the feeling that she may have more opportunities in the future.

8. Iga Swiatek needs to reassess some things

Her overall dominance is indisputable, and even without the clay court tour, she would still be the best. However, it seems that she finished that part of the season exhausted and lost the level of stability that made her nearly invincible against the vast majority of opponents. Perhaps she needs to make adjustments to her game, mental preparation, or even the calendar.

9. Muchova and Navarro, fresh air for women's tennis

They brought a different touch to the tournament, some unpredictability, pure talent, and genuine style, much needed in today's tennis. The Czech and the American were the great positive surprises, and the feeling is that they still have room to grow. Muchova's situation is particularly commendable, and it's easy to see her as a potential Grand Slam champion.

10. Paula Badosa gives reasons to be hopeful

The Spanish player had an impeccable Asian tour, rediscovering her best form. Reaching the quarterfinals is a clear sign that she is ready to achieve great success again, but the way she lost shows that she needs to find some consistency to face such encounters with greater certainty.
