Serena Williams vs Camila Giorgi. Anna Chakvetadze’s prediction

We know nothing about Serena Williams condition, who withdrew from the Hopman Cup and then did not appear in the tournament. But perhaps, if Serena wasn’t in tip top shape, then she would have withdrawn from the tournament. But here she is, and of course, she is a clear favorite in the game with Italian Camila Giorgi, who she has beaten twice in her career. Giorgi reached the quarter-finals in Hobart, where she lost to Bouchard. It’s difficult to answer, what she’s capable of. This is still the beginning of the season. But, in my opinion, her style of play is very convenient for Williams. The Italian relies on her powerful shots, she likes to play fast. But she can’t beat Serena in this. In addition, Giorgi plays a risky game and makes mistakes, she is far from ideal form. Camila does not like to keep the ball in games. And I don’t see a chance for a good fight here. I think that the match will see less than 19 games.
