Two players with a rich history in Grand Slams, Venus Williams and Sofia Kenin, will be facing off in the first round at the US Open. The two Americans, entering the competition as wildcards, meet for the first time in their careers. Kenin has a slightly better record for the season, and our prediction backs her to win.
Williams is rolling back the years, the 46-year-old returning to this event 29 years after her first appearance. Age is surely catching up with the American as she is yet to win a match this season.
Her first-round loss in Cincinnati left her on a 0-11 record. Without a win in the last three years, there isn’t a chance she can add to her two US Open titles.
Kenin made her US Open debut 18 years after Williams', and her best record at Flushing Meadows is the fourth round showing six years ago. That was also the same year Kenin won her one and only Grand Slam title - the Australian Open.
The opponent she is up against has six more Slam titles, but Kenin will be unfazed, especially as she is more agile. The 27-year old has posted six wins this season.
Even though it has been a poor campaign, she has a better return compared to Williams.

Our Venus Williams vs Sofia Kenin Prediction
There is no doubt that Venus Williams’ best years are long gone. Her season has been poor, and once again, as a wildcard, she will be hoping to beat a fellow wildcard. Kenin will have the same ambition, and on the balance of play, she looks like good value for a win here.
The Younger American has won six more matches than Williams this season, and she may do the same without dropping a set. Her opponent has only won four sets this season, and our prediction for Venus Williams v Sofia Kenin is for the exact score: 2-0.
