PARIS, May 25 (UPI) -- No. 1-ranked and two-time defending champion Justin Henin opens her 2007 French Open against No. 67-ranked Elena Vesnina, tournament officials said Friday.
The draw for the 2007 French Open, which begins Sunday, was announced Friday. It will be Henin's first Grand Slam of the year after advancing to all four Grand Slam finals in 2006.
Henin skipped this year's Australian Open for personal reasons. Serena Williams won that event and could meet Henin the French quarterfinals.

Serena Williams, who was unseeded in Australia, has played her way to a No. 8 seeding going into the French Open. Her first match is against Tsvetana Pironkova.
