Venus Has Two Wins This Season

Out for most part of the year, Venus Williams has featured in a mere three tournaments this year and won two matches. The first of these came in Auckland in January but she then missed five months of the sport.

Making a return at the Rosmalen Open earlier this month, Venus then fell to Celine Naef in the very first round but just when one thought things were going to get a lot tougher for the 43-year-old, she produced a stunning win.

The former Wimbledon winner overcame Camila Giorgi in a rip-roaring three-setter than went to a final set tie-breaker in Birmingham. And that wasn’t all either.

While Venus did lose her second round encounter to Jelena Ostapenko it wasn’t without a fight. She took it to the third set before bowing out.

She now faces a player who has had her issues on grass.

Svitolina Solid on Clay But Different Story on Grass

Svitolina was making her return to tennis this season and has grown rather nicely back as a top player. Clay hasn’t quite been her favourite surface over the years but she changed that around this season.

At the Saint-Malo Open, a WTA 125 event, Svitolina was a semifinalist but she then exploded on to the circuit with a title win in Strasbourg and a quarterfinal appearance at the French Open.

Unfortunately for Svitolina, her results on grass over the period of her career have been as underwhelming. Sure, she has had a semifinal appearance at Wimbledon but that has been an aberration.

And event this year, Svitolina was sent packing from the first round of the Birmingham Open, winning just two games against Linda Fruhvirtova.

Can Svitolina overcome Venus in this one?
