Venus Williams of the United States will battle fellow veteran Tatjana Maria of Germany in the first round of the 2026 Hobart International.
Best Pick: Venus Williams +144
Potential Payout: $244 per $100 Bet
Current Form:
Williams will try to bounce back from her opening-round loss to Magda Linette 4-6, 6-4, 2-6 at the ASB Classic. At 45, Williams proved he can still put up a fight against a younger and more active opponent in Linette. The American won 32 points behind the first ball and broke three times before running out of steam against the Pole.
Meanwhile, 38-year-old Tatjana Maria is also trying to earn her first win of the new season in Hobart. Maria fell to Australian Emerson Jones 3-6, 3-6 in the first round of the Brisbane International. Maria only scored 15 points behind the first serves and conceded 6 service games in the match.

Our Tatjana María vs Venus Williams Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Venus Williams defeats Tatjana Maria 7-5, 7-6
Reasoning: It’s gonna be close, but I feel Williams will hack out her first win of the 2026 WTA season at the expense of Maria. Venus played incredibly well in her loss to Linette despite not being active on the tour in the past few years. In that match, Williams showed that her raw power and tennis I.Q are still there and it’s only a matter of time for her to get a win in 2026. Maria is a solid veteran, but her finesse style of tennis will not bode well against a more experienced power player in Williams.
