Venus is in an excellent form, no problems with injuries, she's very motivated, and progressed a lot in her game. She took the Auckland title at the beginning of this season, and got a decent result at the Australian Open. Paula had a very bad year, and by the end of the last year, she had problems with injuries. Her start this season wasn't that bad, but she lost convincingly to Larsson and Radwanska, which realistically speaking, she shouldn't have. Their last duel ended with a win for Venus in straigth sets (the offered handicap would pass), but Paula waas in a better form, and Venus was pretty relaxed. Paula will have lots of respect coming to this game, and regardless of her aggressiveness, that will make her game suffer. Venus shouldn't have problems with Paula despite having to adjust to a different court, especially if she continues playing aggressively and sending deep hits. All in all, Venus is completely superior here, she's in the mental and physical form that she didn't have for a long time, and Paula is slowly falling apart, so Venus should cover the offered handicap.
