A Williams sister's meeting is possible later this week if both Venus and Serena run through their opponents. That is a big IF though as both are going through some issues. With Venus, it is with Sjögren's syndrome, which stops her from performing well, if the illness strikes her.
However, if we think positive, she is in a good place in the women's draw, with Karolina Pliskova as her toughest opponent. And Pliskova's grass record is dismal, even though she is a top 10 player - a few 2nd round appearances.
Venus' next match would be more instructive of where she is now, as Kiki Bertens, although a better claycourter, should give Venus some opposition. Strycova or Wickmayer are her other possible opponents, and both can upset her as well, so it really depends if she's on her A-game on that day.
