MELBOURNE, Australia — Serena Williams could face a fourth-round match against top-seeded Simona Halep, or perhaps her sister Venus, in the Australian Open, which begins on Monday. In the second round, she could face the 2014 Wimbledon runner-up, Eugenie Bouchard. Venus Williams could be Halep’s third-round opponent, meaning the Williams sisters could face off in the fourth round. Serena Williams has not played the Australian Open since then. As she seeks a second Grand Slam title, Halep will first have to make the best of a second chance.
