Serena seeded 11th at Wimbledon; Ahn rolls in qualies

   Seven-time champion Serena Williams today was seeded 11th for Wimbledon, which begins Monday.
   The 37-year-old Williams, a part-time resident of Silicon Valley, has not played since losing to Sofia Kenin in the third round of the French Open. It was Williams' earliest loss at a Grand Slam tournament in five years.
   Williams seeks her first major singles title since the 2017 Australian Open and 24th of her career, which would tie Margaret Court's record.
   Sloane Stephens, meanwhile, was seeded ninth at Wimbledon. The 26-year-old Fresno product reached the quarterfinals there in 2013 but has lost in the first round in each of the past two years.
   Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan were seeded seventh in men's doubles. The 41-year-old twins and former Stanford stars will try to win their fourth Wimbledon title together. Mike Bryan also won last year's title with Jack Sock while Bob Bryan was out with a hip injury that required surgery.
   Raquel Atawo, a 36-year-old Fresno native and ex-Cal standout, was seeded 16th in women's doubles with Lyudmyla Kichenok of Ukraine.
   Atawo (formerly Kops-Jones) reached the Wimbledon doubles semifinals with Abigail Spears in 2015 and 2016. Kichenok advanced to the final of last year's inaugural Mubadala Silicon Valley Classic at San Jose State with her twin sister, Nadiia. They lost to Latisha Chan and 43-year-old Kveta Peschke.
   Wimbledon qualifying -- Unseeded Kristie Ahn, a 27-year-old Stanford graduate, is set to play third-seeded Lauren Davis on Thursday for a berth in the Wimbledon main draw.
   Ahn, 5-foot-5 (1.65 meters), dismissed 32nd-seeded Tamara Korpatsch of Germany 6-2, 6-0 in 68 minutes. Davis, 5-foot-2 (1.57 meters), beat fellow Ohio product Francesca Di Lorenzo 6-4, 7-5.
   Davis, ranked No. 96 after reaching a career-high No. 26 in May 2017, and Ahn, ranked No. 191, will meet for the first time. Davis, 25, eyes her fifth spot in the Wimbledon main draw, having advanced to the third round in 2014, and Ahn her first.
