Venus Williams and Tsvetana Pironkova In Another Grand Slam Encounter
If I'm not mistaken, Tsvetana Pironkova of Bulgaria (#33) is one of the few players which has a 2-0 record over Venus Williams in a Grand Slam. It is tough enough to beat Venus in a lower tier tennis tournament, it is even more difficult to defeat her in a Grand Slam - and one of those victories for Pironkova came in last year's quarterfinals!
Well, the luck of the draw puts them back in a rematch and this time, Venus will have a chance to make a dent in their head-to-head. Pironkova is playing well though, disposing of Vera Zvonareva in just two sets. Venus also hasn't had much play but her match against Date Krumm should've helped her find her way back in the court.
Well, I still do think Venus has a chance to win here. Venus in three sets.
