Wimbledon Lookahead: 1 Win Apiece Sets Up All-Williams Match

LONDON — In 2009, Serena and Venus Williams played against each other for the fourth time in a span of eight Wimbledon finals.

They haven't met in an all-Williams match at the All England Club since.

With one victory apiece Friday, they will set up the latest installment of their historic sibling rivalry at the grass-court tournament, only this time it would be in the fourth round.

First things first.

The No. 1-seeded Serena takes a 23-match Grand Slam winning streak into the third round against 59th-ranked Heather Watson of Britain on Centre Court.

Little doubt who most of the spectators will be pulling for.
