Emiliana Arango enters the first round of the Cincinnati Open, looking to extend Venus Williams’ losing streak to 13 matches.
Current Form:
Venus Williams seeks to end her 12-match losing streak in Cincinnati. The multiple Grand Slam winner hasn’t won a match on the WTA Tour since beating Peyton Stearns 6-3, 6-4 in Washington D.C last year. In her last singles foray, Williams bowed to Kamila Rakhimova 4-6, 1-6 in Toronto.
Emiliana Arango qualified for the main draw of the WTA 1000 Cincinnati after securing a couple of wins in the qualifying stage. She gutted out three-set wins over Aliaksandra Sasnovich 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 and Nadia Podoroska 4-6, 7-5, 6-3.
The Matchup: Arango and Williams will face each other on the WTA Tour for the first time. Arango is the favorite at -226.

Our Emiliana Arango vs Venus Williams Prediction
The Difference Maker: Emiliana Arango might have a subpar record on the hard court, but these two victories over decent campaigners like Sasnovich and Podoroska in the qualifiers should bolster her confidence ahead of her match against Williams.
What to Expect: Emiliana Arango will post a sweep over Venus Williams. Williams is definitely the more accomplished player, but at this stage of her career, she lacks the mobility and stamina to compete with a fully-fledged pro on the tour.
Fearless Forecast: Emiliana Arango wins 6-4, 6-4
Our betting prediction for Emiliana Arango vs. Venus Williams: Emiliana Arango 2-0 Sets
