Venus Williams is in a tough part of the women's draw in this year's US Open, yet I feel that she has a good chance of reaching her first semi-final of a grand slam in so many years. Her fierce performance at Wimbledon a few months ago coupled with her win against her sister Serena, in Montreal shows that she can still slug it out with today's top 10 players.
Her draw includes Simona Halep who is currently ranked #2 in the world today, Maria Sharapova, and Caroline Wozniacki, who has had a wonderful run this summer. Add to that mix, Roberta Vinci, Andrea Petkovic and Sara Errani, and you have this great host of players who have a good chance of making the semi-finals in this side of the draw.
However, I feel it's time again for Venus to reassert herself and she is in the "right" part of the draw where she has the firepower to slug it out with her potential opponents. I'm very excited to see her play!
