Elina Svitolina to Win in Straight Sets

It’s important to point out that Venus Williams is one of the most successful players in the history of this competition; she’s a five-time Wimbledon champion, and is currently second in the WTA all-time career earnings list. However, the American player is 43 years old, and hasn’t been at her best for a couple of years now.

It’s worth mentioning that Elina Svitolina won the last three skirmishes between these players in straight sets; and considering the American player’s recent struggles, we should expect a similar outcome today.
