Olga Danilovic vs Venus Williams prediction
Olga Danilovic competed in Auckland a week ago and got some wins under her belt, coming from a set down to beat McCartney Kessler in the first-round and then beating another American in Peyton Stearns to book her place in the quarter-finals. Her run would end after a straight sets defeat to Antonia Ruzic.
Venus Williams, the seven-time Grand Slam singles champion, will become the oldest player to ever compete in an Australian Open main draw when she faces Danilovic in the first-round. She has already participated in two events this year but lost in round one of Auckland and Hobart to Magda Linette and Tatjana Maria respectively.
Williams’ experience makes her tough to count out, and her big serve will still provide her with enough free points to apply pressure on Danilovic at times. The Serb’s lefty variation may disrupt the veteran’s rhythm, and this match could head all the way to three sets.
