WIMBLEDON NOTES | From England

Homecourt advantage: Tim Henman had the homecourt advantage Wednesday, with Centre Court fans even violating Wimbledon etiquette by cheering his opponent's double-faults.
There weren't nearly enough of those, and Henmania turned to Henmoania when he lost to unseeded Mario Ancic 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-2. The defeat ended Henman's latest bid to become the first British man to win Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936.
"It's a tough one to swallow," Henman said. "I've never hidden behind the fact that this is the tournament I'd love to win the most. And the reality is that I don't have an endless number of years for chances. I felt this was a good opportunity."
Henman, 29, considered the first half of this year the best of his career, including a semifinal berth at the French Open. He has now lost four times in the Wimbledon quarterfinals, and he's 0-4 in the semifinals.
Henman isn't necessarily the end of British hopes for another Wimbledon champion. Bookmaker William Hill has set odds at 250-1 that Henman's daughter, Rosie, will win the tournament.
She's 1 year old.
Wimbledon upsets are nothing new for the 20-year-old Ancic. He's the last player to beat Roger Federer at the All England Club, winning their first-round match in 2002.
With his size and serve-and-volley game, the 6-foot-5 Ancic is reminiscent of another Croat, 2001 champion Goran Ivanisevic, but lacks his mentor's high-strung demeanor.
"When I was small, 14, 15, 16, I was playing more from the baseline," Ancic said. "He said, 'Keep on improving that volley game, keep on going to the net.' He also said when I was 12, 'You know, keep on breaking rackets.' "
Capriati coach: Former U.S. Davis Cup captain Tom Gullikson, who began coaching Jennifer Capriati at Wimbledon, said he's unsure whether he will continue working with her.
"I have no idea," he said. "All we really talked about was Wimbledon."
Capriati lost in the quarterfinals Wednesday to Serena Williams. She worked earlier this year with Heinz Gunthardt but has been coached for most of her career by her father, Stefano, who was not at Wimbledon.
Capariati said she'll decide what to do regarding a coach later.
Williams kept Capriati on the defensive with her powerful serve and penetrating groundstrokes, Gullikson said. The result left Williams two rounds from her third consecutive Wimbledon title.
"I can't see Serena losing if she plays like that," Gullikson said.
Tough draws: Lleyton Hewitt lost to Roger Federer at the Australian Open and to Gaston Gaudio at the French Open, and both went on to win the tournament.
That bodes well for Federer, who beat Hewitt in the Wimbledon quarterfinals Wednesday.
"I feel like I prepared as well as I could for all three majors so far," Hewitt said. "I've been beaten by Roger in two of them and Gaudio in the other. The guys were just too good."
Hewitt, a two-time Grand Slam champion, hasn't reached a major semifinal since 2002.
Doubles: Defending champions Jonas Bjorkman and Todd Woodbridge advanced to the Wimbledon semifinals in men's doubles Wednesday by beating Nikolay Davydenko and Ashley Fisher 7-5, 6-2. Bjorkman and Woodbridge are seeded No. 1.
No. 1-seeded Virginia Ruano Pascual and Paola Suarez advanced to the semifinals in women's doubles by beating Maria Vento-Kabchi and Angelique Widjaja 5-7, 6-4, 6-3.
In mixed doubles, No. 1-seeded Mahesh Bhupathi and Elena Likhovtseva reached the quarterfinals by beating Daniel Nestor and Lina Krasnoroutskaya 6-3, 7-6 (3).
Quotable: Serena Williams closed out her quarterfinal rout of Jennifer Capriati with a lunging drop volley as she went sprawling on the grass.
Williams' coach and father, Richard, was among those impressed by the shot.
"It kind of reminded me of my first boxing match, I went down so fast," he said.
