NOTEBOOK | Wimbledon

Serena's security: Serena Williams wants to hear more about security plans for the Olympics before she heads to Athens. A doubles champion at the Sydney Games, Williams was selected for the U.S. women's team along with older sister Venus, who won singles and doubles gold medals in 2000, Jennifer Capriati, Chanda Rubin, Lisa Raymond and Martina Navratilova. Williams said Tuesday she plans to meet with representatives of the U.S. Tennis Association and "talk about some different issues, security-wise. We're going to get together and talk and see how we feel about it. We'll go from there," Williams said. "I had concerns but I got letters from the ambassadors, different people, so it was really able to kind of ease it. But there's a lot of stuff going on in the world right now, so we always have to just be careful."
Young star: All of 14, Donald Young turned pro and has an agent. Brad Gilbert, who coaches Andy Roddick and used to work with Andre Agassi, was in the crowd at Court 4 on Tuesday when Young lost 6-2, 6-4 to eighth-seeded Sebastian Rieschick in the second round of the Wimbledon junior tournament. "I've got my eye on him. Give him two years, and I think he'll be making a big presence," Gilbert said. "He's got a lot of talent: He can move the ball around, he's got quick hands ... volleys well." Young, who recently moved to Athens, Ga., lost in his Grand Slam junior debut at the French Open. But he won his opener at the All England Club, coming back to beat Robin Haase of the Netherlands 3-6, 6-2, 6-1 Monday. "That win gave me a lot of confidence. I was real happy -- now I don't have to be scared," Young said. "People tell me the first win is the hardest. Now I've done that." If he wins the USTA Boys' 18 national championships at Kalamazoo, Mich., in August, he'll probably be given a wild card for the U.S. Open. That would make him the youngest-ever male player at the American Grand Slam tournament. Young is "obviously a tremendous talent," U.S. Davis Cup captain Patrick McEnroe said, adding: "There's no need to rush him as far as playing pro tournaments."
Doubles doings: The second-seeded team of twins Bob and Mike Bryan were upset 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 Tuesday by the unseeded American pair Justin Gimelstob and Scott Humphries in the third round of doubles at Wimbledon. The Bryans, who will play for the United States at the Olympics and won the 2003 French Open, had played in three of the past five Grand Slam doubles finals. They lost the title match at the Australian Open in January and the U.S. Open in September. In the quarterfinals, Gimelstob and Humphries will face Mark Knowles and Daniel Nestor. Defending champions Jonas Bjorkman and Todd Woodbridge beat Rick Leach and Brian MacPhie 3-6, 6-4, 9-7 to reach the quarterfinals. Bob Bryan and Lindsay Davenport reached the third round of mixed doubles, as did defending champions Martina Navratilova and Leander Paes.
Fashion tips: Ah, those strict clothing rules at Wimbledon. Serena Williams had to scrap her fashion plans when they were vetoed by the tournament. "I had something really, really super sexy, but they wouldn't let me wear it," she said Tuesday.
Checking champions: No one escapes the bag checkers at the entrances to the All England Club. Not even Wimbledon champions. Security guards searched John McEnroe's bag Tuesday morning. Two spots behind him in line, Martina Hingis waited while her purse was checked. Security at Wimbledon was tightened in 2002, in response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and last year officials instituted a policy of searching bags. Some people have been frisked this year, and police with dogs patrol the grounds.
