The one and only Venus Williams will be back in action at the ASB Classic 2026, as she is set to face Polish starlet Magda Linette in the Round of 32. While the No. 5 seed will start this encounter as the favorite, count Williams out at your own peril. Having already received a wild-card for the Australian Open, the 45-year-old will look to make the most of her preparatory time in Auckland.<\/p><p>With a noteworthy victory over Peyton Stearns at the Citi DC Open and two women&rsquo;s doubles quarterfinals in Washington and New York, Williams capped off an intriguing 2025 campaign. Currently ranked No. 145 in the world, the former World No. 1 has reiterated her love for tennis and the fact that she has nothing left to prove. Linette&rsquo;s attempt to play spoilsport will be foiled by the fact that she is yet to register a victory over the American. Yet, the 33-year-old boasts an impressive 502-398 record over her career.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Venus Williams makes her return tonight in Auckland &#10024; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ASBClassic26?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#ASBClassic26<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2tnvSLRukS\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/2tnvSLRukS<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Tennis Channel (@TennisChannel) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TennisChannel\/status\/2008246315243737236?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>January 5, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>According to the tennis betting odds, Magda Linette (-400) overpowers Venus Williams (+295) as the favorite to emerge triumphant in the ASB Classic opening round &ndash; according to <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>BetMGM<\/a>.

Most importantly, the 33-year-old has age on her side. While the American legend has undoubted quality on her serve and groundstrokes, she will struggle to get into position to dictate rallies. Two of the key determinants of this result will be the first serve percentage and success rate on the return of serve.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Linette vs. Pegula | Cincinnati Open | Round 3\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4r5JtPiEa-w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Across her four matches last year, Williams managed to win just 50% service games. Once her serve is neutralized, the seven-time Grand Slam champion finds it difficult to match the efficiency of her opponents. Subsequently, Linette is predominantly a baseliner who attacks the ball on the rise. Her break point conversion rate of 42% shows how calm she is under pressure.<\/p><p>The Polish World No. 52 has recorded seven Top-10 wins throughout her career and is a former Australian Open semifinalist. She has no problem facing the big names under pressure and advancing.
