Ivanovic feels confident in her abilities against V. Williams.
For one reason or another Ana Ivanovic feels comfortable going against Venus Williams in the round of 16 at Wimbledon on Monday June 29th. Taking a look at the two players, their head to head meetings, and their Wimbledon history, it is really hard to figure why Ivanovic should have any confidence at all against Williams.
Ivanovic has only beaten Williams once in 6 head to head matchups and that was at the 2008 Australian Open. Every other time, including in 2007 at Wimbledon, Williams has won and besides the one victory Ivanovic has, Williams has only dropped one other set to Ivanovic in their head to head play.
Not only that but Ivanovic does not have a history of success here at Wimbledon that comes close to mirroring the success of Venus Williams at all. The best Ivanovic has done in past years at Wimbledon is making the semifinals, which shows she's not a pushover on the grass court surface, but Williams is a five time champion here with no hint that she is slowing down, even at the age of 29.
As far as this year goes at The Championships, Venus Williams has been cruising through her matches while Ana Ivanovic almost got dumped right in the first round by Lucie Hradecka before winning in the third set 8-6.
There is no reason for Ivanovic to feel comfortable here at all and the only recommendation that could be made is to pick Venus Williams at -600 (1/6) with bet365. While Ivanovic is +350 (7/2) and that might seem like a good price for a former Grand Slam champion, that pick looks bad in this case.
