After an all-Belgian French Open final broke the streak, Wimbledon could be another all-in-the family affair.

Serena and Venus Williams were put on opposite sides of the Wimbledon women’s draw Tuesday, meaning the sisters might face each other in another Grand Slam event final.

Defending men’s champion Lleyton Hewitt got a break when his probable second-round opponent, former winner Richard Krajicek, withdrew because of an elbow injury.

The tournament begins Monday.

Andre Agassi, seeded second, will open against British wild card Jamie Delgado, and could face No. 18 Marat Safin in the fourth round.

Serena Williams, who won Wimbledon for the first time last year, and older sister Venus, the 2000 and 2001 champion, have met in four of the last five Grand Slam finals.
