Venus Williams is back on tour and will compete at WTA Washington as a wildcard. She faces unseeded Anastasia Potapova in the first round, marking their first career meeting. Williams arrives for this clash having lost 12 in a row, and our prediction backs Potapova to win here.
Williams’ last victory was at this very event last season when she defeated Peyton Stearns in straight sets in the first round. She will hope for a similar result to help end a long losing streak.
Eight of the defeats in this streak have been inflicted this year. Williams, a seven-time Grand Slam champion, played her most recent match a month ago in Bad Homburg. The 46-year-old former world number one is ranked outside the WTA’s top 600.
Anastasia Potapova will be looking to take full advantage of Williams’ poor form to end a losing streak of her own. The Austrian, who is ending a month-long break from action, has lost three matches in a row.
She failed to win a set in all the three matches and has now been beaten in 16 out of 41 outings. Potapova had a strong clay campaign, which saw her record a semi-final finish in Madrid and a runner-up performance in Linz.
Those performances did wonders for her in the world ranking, and she is now set to start the week as the WTA's number 26.

Our Anastasia Potapova vs Venus Williams Prediction
Potapova is our bet to come out on top here as she faces an opponent in reeling form. However, this may not be straightforward for the Austrian, as she too hasn’t been in the best of form. Potapova has lost three matches in a row and particularly struggled on hard courts.
Williams will look to take advantage of this to end a losing streak that began at last year’s event in Washington. With the home crowd expected to be fully behind her, she will likely make things difficult for Potapova. Our prediction for Anastasia Potapova v Venus Williams is for the exact score: 2-1.
