Well, as impressive as her entire resume looks, Williams badly needs another vintage performance to pull out a win over the World No. 4 and set up an intriguing finals showdown with her sister, Serena Williams.
To be specific, Venus ought to play like the ways she did in the final set of her quarterfinals match with Yaroslava Shvedova. The former World No. 1 closed out the game with a relentless barrage of big serves and ground strokes.
Angelique Kerber’s Edge (-300):
Looking at her current form, Angelique Kerber should be able to beat Venus Williams in the semifinals of Wimbledon 2016.

Kerber, who is priced at +300 to win it all at the All England Club, also won the only encounter on grass against Williams back in the 2012 Olympics. During that particular clash, the German beaut won 65 percent of her serve points and converted on all of her break point opportunities (3-for-3) to ultimately win it after two tightly-contested sets, 7-6(5), 7-6(5).
Writer’s Prediction: Kerber (-300) wins it in three sets.
