There will be a 24-year age difference when 15-year-old qualifier Cori Gauff takes on fellow American Venus Williams in the first round of Wimbledon.
Gauff became the youngest qualifier for the Championships in the Open era on Thursday when she defeated Greet Minnen and will now face 39-year-old Williams.
Gauff was inspired to start playing tennis because of the success of the Williams sisters and has been earmarked for stardom having reached the girls' singles final at the US Open aged just 13.
Serena Williams was handed a tough draw as she continues her pursuit of Margaret Court's all-time grand slam singles record of 24.
After Italian qualifier Giulia Gatto-Monticone in round one, Serena could face 18th seed Julia Goerges in the third round in a repeat of last year's semi-final and then defending champion Angelique Kerber in the fourth round.
Kerber comfortably defeated Williams 12 months ago to win her third grand slam title.
Ashleigh Barty, a potential quarter-final opponent of Serena Williams or Kerber, will play her first match as the top seed at a grand slam against China's Zheng Saisai and could face former Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza in the third round.
