but here is the schedule (and Serena's results) so far: http://www.wimbledon.com/en_GB/news/articles/2016-07-06/the_preview_day_102016.html

IMO, Venus has a tougher match ahead. These sisters are fantastic.

And after their respective singles matches, they'll be competing together in women's doubles!
