Venus Williams is presented with a great opportunity here to claim her first win of the year as she takes on the skidding Francesca Jones of Great Britain in the first round of the 2026 Miami Open. Williams is currently priced at +164 on FanDuel.
Current Form:
Losers in her last 9 matches, Venus Williams is trading at +164 moneyline against the 93rd-ranked Franchesca Jones of Great Britain, who also seeks to end a four-match losing streak. Although Williams managed to win two sets in her last three matches, she looked fatigued and gasping for air in both three-setters against Olga Danilovic at the Australian Open and Diane Parry at Indian Wells.
As for Jones, the young Brit seems to have lost all her confidence following her quarterfinal run in Auckland. She has lost her last three matches after that tournament, including an ugly 3-6, 1-6 loss to Kayla Day. The question now is, will this ongoing losing streak leave her vulnerable to the 45th-ranked Williams?

Our Francesca Jones vs Venus Williams Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Venus Williams guts out a 6-3, 7-5 win over Francesca Jones
If Williams were going to win this match, she must wrap it up in two sets. Allowing Jones to take her deep would compromise her shallow stamina again at this age.
Williams faces a golden opportunity here to end the streak against Jones, who is playing with a rare genetic condition (EEC). Jones showed some promise in Auckland early this year, but she has since lost all her momentum after suffering setback after setback.
Williams was able to prove that she can still mix it up with much younger players by taking a set from Danilovic and Parry. I feel she can take two sets against Jones, who is nowhere near her tip-top form.
Our betting prediction for Venus Williams vs. Francesca Jones: Venus Williams will win.
