V. Williams

Player Overview

Venus Williams, with a remarkable career win percentage of 72.9% across 915 matches, is experiencing a significant downturn. Her current form over the last two years shows a stark contrast, with only one win against ten losses, marking a win rate of just 9.1%. This trajectory indicates a player struggling, particularly evident in her recent performances on hard courts where she has not secured a victory in her last five outings.

Recent defeats, including a string of straight-set losses to players such as K. Quevedo and A. Tomljanovic, expose the challenges Williams faces as she approaches this match. With no wins in her last ten matches, the pressure is mounting. Her historical prowess on grass courts remains, but there are doubts about her ability to compete effectively here in Bad Homburg.
