Venus Williams vs Jessica Bouzas Maneiro prediction
After a memorable return to action at the Washington Open last month, 45-year-old Venus Williams has once again received a wildcard, this time for the Cincinnati Open.
The seven-time Grand Slam champion impressed on her comeback in DC, reaching the quarter-finals of the doubles and also becoming the oldest Singles winner on tour since Martina Navratilova in 2004 when she defeated compatriot Peyton Stearns in the first round.
In Jessica Bouzas Maneiro we have a player who is at the opposite end of her career, with the 22-year-old currently enjoying a career-high ranking of 50. The Spaniard is fresh off a maiden WTA 1000 quarter-final having reached the last eight in Canada, so she is not short of confidence right now.
Williams proved that she could still produce high-quality tennis in Washington, but she faced an under-par Stearns on that day. With Maneiro in the form of her career right now and full of belief after her exploits in Montreal, the smart money would appear to be on the youngster here, although Williams will have the lion’s share of the support and could make this interesting.
