He said that Serena has too much riding on her upcoming match, with the possibility of winning her 23rd-career Grand Slam title to surpass Steffi Graf for the most Grand Slam titles won in the Open Era. Not only that, but the younger Williams will reclaim her throne as the No. 1 female tennis player in the world with a victory as well.<\/p>\n<p>Kennard further stated\u00a0that Serena has the capability to extend the contest to longer sets than Venus, but it&#8217;s not as if she&#8217;ll need it this Saturday given her confidence and dominant performances from the tournament.<\/p>\n<h3>WTA Addict<\/h3>\n<table class=\"table-bordered\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Expert<\/th>\n<th>Prediction<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>WTAAddict.com team<\/th>\n<th>Serena (2 sets)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Similar to Bleacher Report, the team from the long-running female tennis blog WTA Addict also sided with Serena prevailing with a two-set victory. The site mostly agreed with Kennard&#8217;s analysis, but also\u00a0mentioned that Serena greater power and mobility than her older sister as we speak.<\/p>\n<h3>Last Word on Tennis<\/h3>\n<table class=\"table-bordered\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Expert<\/th>\n<th>Prediction<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Yesh Ginsburg<\/th>\n<th>Serena (2 sets)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>John Lupo<\/th>\n<th>Venus (3 sets)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Steen Kirby<\/th>\n<th>Serena (2 sets)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Jeff Crady<\/th>\n<th>Serena (2 sets)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Ryan Schick<\/th>\n<th>Serena (2 sets)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Four of the five members from Last Word on Tennis\u00a0\u2013 to no surprise by now\u00a0\u2013 went with Serena winning the final in Melbourne in two\u00a0sets. However,\u00a0writer John Lupo prevented the unanimous, straight-sets vote for Serena from happening by picking\u00a0Venus to go the distance and emerge victorious.<\/p>\n<p>Lupo argued that we can still put faith in Venus to have one last monumental victory if she can exhibit great poise on second serve, which was what\u00a0got her to the final round after doing as such against up-and-comer Coco Vandeweghe. Furthermore, Lupo also mentioned that Serena has yet to face a true challenge in her six matches in Melbourne, and there&#8217;s nobody better than her own sister that can push her to the very limit this Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/9\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0win big from the Williams sisters&#8217; massive showdown before its too late!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/28\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-145127\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/TENNIS-BANNERS-620x110.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"130986\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,710&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nothing in women&#8217;s singles tennis competition can compare to\u00a0a head-to-head Williams sisters finale, which makes the Australian Open Final clash between siblings Serena and Venus all the more captivating.
