It's no surprise that, even at 37 years old, Venus Williams can still come out on top of the head-to-head in her side of the draw, because she's still up there with the best, with a current ranking of #11.
With no clear favorite for Wimbledon 2017, and with grass being her strongest surface, now is the best chance for Venus to grab title #6, and from the look of the draw, she is in a very good position to achieve it.
Her next opponent is Ana Konjuh, an up-and-coming player from Croatia, which Venus should handle fine. Her next possible opponents are trickier though, in Elina Svitolina and Simona Halep.
Garbine Muguruza looms as her finals opponent, on paper.
All are very accomplished players but they don't have the pedigree she has on grass.
