Anastasia Potapova vs Venus Williams prediction

Venus Williams continues her remarkable longevity aiming for a rare win on tour these days.

The veteran superstar last triumphed in singles in Washington 12 months ago, but it’s going to be a big ask for the wildcard against Anastasia Potapova.

The Russian may have endured a miserable grass swing, but she’s been impressing overall in 2026 and the world number 28 should have the quality and legs to prevail, but don’t rule out Venus being competitive for asset.
