Three Capitals fall at Wimbledon

   Height and power count for a lot in professional tennis, but they're not everything.
   Athleticism, especially on grass, is even more important.
   Consider the results of two part-time Sacramento Capitals, both qualifiers, on Wednesday at Wimbledon.
   Ryan Sweeting, a 6-foot-5 resident of Fort Lauderdale, lost to eighth-seeded Janko Tipsarevic, a 5-foot-11 Serb, 5-7, 7-5, 6-4, 6-2 in the second round.
   CoCo Vandeweghe, 6-foot-1 from Rancho Santa Fe in the San Diego area, succumbed to 10th-seeded Sara Errani, a 5-foot-4 1/2 Italian, 6-1, 6-3 in the first round. Errani reached the final of the recent French Open, losing to Maria Sharapova.
    Another tall part-time Capital, 6-foot-6 Sam Querrey, fell in the first round of doubles with fellow American James Blake to David Marrero of Spain and Andreas Seppi of Italy 3-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2.
   Querrey, a 24-year-old San Francisco native, is scheduled to meet 21st-seeded Milos Raonic of Canada for the first time Thursday in the second round of singles. Raonic, the two-time reigning SAP Open champion in San Jose, topped Colombia's Santiago Giraldo, who won the 2009 Sacramento Challenger, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.
