Serena Williams Gets Tough Wimbledon First Round Match
06.18.2011 LONDON-- Serena Williams next week competes as the 7th seed at Wimbledon at London. Some good news as her sister Venus Williams is on the other side of the singles draw; meaning the two sisters could only meet in the final round.

Serena's low seed comes as a result that she had only played one tournament, Wimbledon in the past 52 weeks which resulted in a WTA Tour ranking of 26. Wimbledon seeded Serena 7, not 26 due to her past grass results and her injury absence.

The bad news is Serena in the first round is to play Aravane Rezai of France, one of the hardest hitters on the WTA Tour. Rezai has a win over Venus. Serena defeated the 61st ranked Frenchwoman 3-6, 7-5, 6-4 in the semifinals of Syndey last January in their only prior meeting.
