Venus Williams vs Mirra Andreeva: Match Preview
Mirra Andreeva made her debut on the WTA main tour this year. She quickly impressed by making it to the third round of the Madrid Open where she beat two seeded players. She was next seen at the Roland Garros. She destroyed her first and second-round opponents before losing to Coco Gauff in a tight encounter. She went a step further at Wimbledon, where she defeated Barbora Krejcikova before going down to Madison Keys in three tight sets.
Venus Williams has recently said that she feels she has a lot of tennis left in her. However, the American legend hasn’t really got any breakthrough tournament as yet in 2023. She has come up with impressive wins here and there and looks like she is improving. Her win last week against Veronika Kudermetova was extremely impressive as she bounced back from 1-5 down to win the match. Beating a seeded player would give her great confidence. She would love to carry on with that and make it a special week.
The players have never met each other previously on tour and both will look to get that early head-to-head advantage. It will be more important for Andreeva as Williams over the years has had positive head-to-head with most players. For Andreeva, it will be a great accomplishment in the early stages of her career.
Venus Williams vs Mirra Andreeva: Match Prediction
A few years ago, it would have been extremely difficult to beat Venus Williams. However, with injuries and her age catching up, it is a possibility. The legend has shown signs of improvement in the last few tournaments. However, it will be difficult to overcome the youth and energy of Andreeva, who is really picking up her game. Expect Williams to take a set.
Prediction: Mirra Andreeva to win in three sets
