WIMBLEDON, England -- Top-seeded Justine Henin, looking to complete a career Grand Slam, will open her 2007 Wimbledon against Argentine qualifier Jorgelina Cravero.

Henin could face two-time champion Serena Williams in the quarterfinals. Williams, the seventh seed, plays Lourdes Dominguez Lino of Spain.

Henin and Serena Williams met in the quarterfinals of the French Open, with Henin winning in straight sets.

Defending champion Amelie Mauresmo, who is seeded No. 4, opens her title defense against American Jamea Jackson and could face French Open runner-up Ana Ivanovic in the quarterfinals.

In the semis, Mauresmo could meet 2004 champion Maria Sharapova or three-time winner Venus Williams, who are lined up for a fourth-round matchup. Sharapova leads 3-1 in career play, but Venus Williams beat her in the 2005 semifinals on her way to her most recent Wimbledon title.

In the top half of the women's draw with Henin and Serena Williams are Martina Hingis, Jelena Jankovic and Anna Chakvetadze.

Hingis won Wimbledon in 1997 and reached the third round last year in her first visit to the All England Club since ending a three-year retirement. She plays British wild card Naomi Cavaday in the first round.
