Venus and Serena Williams got their wish in Friday’s draw. The only way the sisters can meet at the French Open is in the final.

Venus Williams, seeded eighth, will open against Tamarine Tanasugarn of Thailand.

One intriguing women’s first-round match is No. 13 Anna Kournikova, 16, of Russia and Amelie Mauresmo, 18, of France. Kournikova beat No. 1 Martina Hingis for the first time this month at Berlin; Mauresmo, the 1996 world junior champion, reached the German Open final as a qualifier before losing to Conchita Martinez.
