Probability to win tennis match against Anna in a week, when Tom wins 55% matches against Anna over the year

Hello, 
Shouldn't the probability of Tom winning tennis matches against Anna stay the same within a week like within a year? Because if I'd divide the probability 0.55 by 52 weeks, I'd get a probability of about 0.01 something, which doesn't make sense, as that would mean Annas probability to win over the week would be 0.99 which doesn't add up to 0.45 within a year.
