PARIS (AP) — Four-time champion Justine Henin’s return to the French Open could include a third-round match against Maria Sharapova and a quarterfinal against Serena Williams.
Friday’s draw for the tournament also has No. 1-seeded Williams potentially facing No. 4 Jelena Jankovic in the semifinals. Williams’ older sister, No. 2 Venus, could meet defending champion Svetlana Kuznetsova in the semifinals.
The 22nd-seeded Henin is playing at Roland Garros for the first time since 2007. She abruptly retired before the 2008 French Open but has returned to the tour this season.
The draw for the men’s field is under way.
Play begins Sunday.
