Heather Watson will face friend to the stars and 20-time grand slam champion Serena Williams for the first time at Wimbledon with the mantra "everybody's human".
British number one Watson set up a career-first meeting with modern great Williams by swatting aside former world number five Daniela Hantuchova in straight sets.
Williams breezed past Timea Babos in equally-peremptory fashion with supermodel Karlie Kloss her latest superstar guest, to set Friday's compelling third-round tie.
The 33-year-old lauded "super sweet" Watson's sunny demeanour, while the Guernsey native said Williams' almost-unrivalled tennis record means she can add as many celebrities to her entourage as she wants.
"It will be a huge advantage for her," said Williams of Watson's home support.
"The home court will probably help her a little bit. It's going to be a great big match for us both.
"I've been used to playing against a lot of local people, doesn't matter what country it's in, and hopefully that experience will help me a little bit.
"I don't know her at all. I see her around the locker room. She's always smiling, so she seems to be super sweet. I know it's not going to be easy for me. She has nothing to lose."
Watson cannot wait for a first meeting with Serena Williams, having lost out 6-3 6-1 to sister Venus in Beijing last year.
"At the end of the day everybody's human," said Watson.
"Everybody's going to make mistakes, everybody's going to have good and bad days.
"She's done so well in her tennis life she's allowed to enjoy her life off the court a bit.
"She is big celebrity status. So yeah, she's living it up."
Two-time champion Rafael Nadal will be aiming to avoid a premature Wimbledon exit for the fourth year running on Thursday, up against Germany's Dustin Brown.
Nadal lost to his dreadlocked opponent on grass in Halle last year, and has already conceded his wariness ahead of his second-round clash.
The Spaniard's long-standing knee troubles have eased, so he is determined to avoid any more shock SW19 defeats, to add to Lukas Rosol in 2012, Steve Darcis in 2013 and Nick Kyrgios in last year's fourth round.
Swiss seven-time champion Roger Federer will face the United States' Sam Querrey on Centre Court, while British hopes will be pinned on James Ward's clash with Jiri Vesely and Aljaz Bedene, who takes on Viktor Troicki.
