THE PREDICTION
Former world number one Venus Williams beat Katie Volynets in straight sets on Monday to earn her first singles victory on tour since Wimbledon in 2021. The 42-year-old’s career has now outlasted her younger sister Serena’s as she begins her 30th year on tour and it will be fascinating to see what 2023 holds for the seven-time Grand Slam champion. World number 84 Lin Zhu is no pushover but she could be forgiven for struggling to find her best level against the aura of a player like Williams early-on. The 28-year-old enjoyed some decent runs late last season and she has stunned the likes of Alize Cornet in recent months, with a comeback victory over Madison Brengle in the first round a solid start to 2023. This is well worth keeping away from an accumulator considering Williams’ age and lack of recent matches but back the American to earn at least a set here and leave the victor up to chance.
