Williams vs Kvitova: Prediction
Looking back at the performances in the previous season, both players faired below par as compared to their results over the years. Many might feel the Czech can beat the American, after losing in their last two meetings. Venus lost in the first round of the three Grand Slams played last year.
The WTA Yarra Valley Classic event is held in Melbourne Park, where the Australian Open is played. Both players have been a finalist at the Australian Open. It’ll be a tight contest and Kvitova might get the edge over Williams as she had a better season last year.
