Down-the-line.com will be performing a live online text broadcast: Tennis. WTA. Cincinnati. First round. Williams-Kudermetova. Direct
Williams has only 7 games this season, 2 wins (over Katy Wolynets at the start of the year and Camila Giorgi in Birmingham in July) and 5 losses against Zhu Lin, Celine Nef, Elena Ostapenko, Elina Svitolina and Madison Keys. This season, Venus Williams has problems serving, in second she only wins 30% to 50% of the points. With Kudermetova, such a percentage is equivalent to a defeat.
Meanwhile, Kudermetova would play in the tournament after failing at Wimbledon. The Russian, who looked well mid-season with two WTA 1000 semi-finals and a WTA 250 final behind her, lost in the second round to eventual champion Marketa Vondrousova.
Returning to hard court for the first time since Miami in March, Kudermetova will be aiming for a restart ahead of the US Open.
Williams and Kudermetova have never met before, in personal encounters they have 0:0.
