Venus Williams is back at the Australian Open, competing again as a wildcard, and will take on Olga Danilovic in the first round. The winner of their first career meeting will play Cori Gauff or Kamila Rakhimova for a place in the third round. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Olga Danilovic is back in Melbourne, where last year, she equaled her best-ever finish at a major. The Serbian, in only her second appearance at Melbourne Park, made it to the fourth round.
As she has had a strong start to the year, she will be confident of another deep run. Danilovic, who is ranked 69th in the live ranking, started the season with a run to the quarter-finals in Hobart.
Venus Williams has made a return to the Australian Open after a four-year absence. A two-time finalist at this event, the veteran American is seeking to win her first match of the season.
Williams has lost both of her fixtures, and this has extended her losing streak to five matches. The former world number one was unable to win in Auckland and Brisbane, managing just one set in the two fixtures.
Williams hasn’t won a match at a major since 2021.
