Venus avoids australian open first round upset

I think there may be some confusion here!

Venus Williams is a professional tennis player, and she has played in many Grand Slam tournaments, including the Australian Open. However, she is a human being and cannot "avoid" an upset in the classical sense.

What you might be referring to is that Venus Williams won her first-round match at the Australian Open, avoiding a potential upset. In tennis, an upset occurs when a lower-ranked player defeats a higher-ranked player. If Venus Williams had lost to a lower-ranked player in the first round, it would have been considered an upset.
