Venus Williams – Statistics & Current Form
Current ranking in the world rankings: 36.
Position in the seedling list: unset
The 38-year-old American Venus Williams flies under the radar for some years and wants to partout their 50th individual title in the WTA Tour not reach (since February 2016, they have won no tournament more and since lost only twice in a Grand Slam Finals and 2017 in the final of the WTA Tour Championships), but the old master still has what it takes to defeat the stars and starlets of the WTA. The previous tournament highlight in Indian Wells – the tournament, which she boycotted 13 years together with sister Serena Williams following the scandalous staging in 2001 – was undoubtedly her 2-1 comeback victory in the second round over the world ranking third Petra Kvitova.
“I do not play that often anymore. That’s why I want it to count when I’m on the pitch. ” – Venus Williams at wtatennis.com
For the first time since her run to the semifinals of the BNP Paribas Open 2018, the former champion has once again secured four wins in a row a year ago, which makes the dream of winning the major tennis tournament in California for the first time in her career still alive , Although the seven-time Grand Slam winner no longer plays too many tournaments, her season so far can still be seen in an annual record of eight wins versus only two defeats, although she misses the many small tournaments to compete in the WTA world ranking to be ranked above. As number 36, she currently starts in all majors outside the seedling list, resulting in correspondingly heavy tournament trees. So Angelique Kerber will certainly be a number harder again than before Mona Barthel and Christina McHale. In the case of Kerber against Williams must also be included in the tip that the already 38-year-old player who is currently denying her 26th season as a tennis professional (WTA debut: 1994) slowly but surely also reaches the physical limits. But still the batteries are well filled after last five weeks break.
