WIMBLEDON, England -- Alexandra Stevenson, a surprise semifinalist last year in her first Grand Slam tournament, on Thursday lost to Patricia Wartusch 7-6 (6), 6-3. Before departing, the 19-year-old American backed up her earlier accusations of racism on the women's tour.

Stevenson said a French player used a vulgarity while calling her a "black girl" during a match, and her mother had a confrontation with another French player. Stevenson's mother is white; her father, basketball great Julius Erving, is black.

"I kind of made a big splash last year. I don't think a lot of girls appreciated it. They have to grow up," she said. "There is a lot of hazing going on. I don't think any young girl should go through that."

Gambill's motor is running at Wimbledon
Jan-Michael Gambill has a thing for Jaguars. He owns six. And he's ready to buy six more as a reward for his good play.

Gambill has reached the third round of Wimbledon. He's already guaranteed just less $30,000 for getting this far. Not enough for a Jaguar, but a good chunk of change.

"It depends on my success, of course," the American said. "And how much space I have in my garage. I can see having 12, something like that. We've just finished a garage for them actually. It's a little different -- it's fun."

And which tennis player resembles the elegance and classic beauty of his favorite car?

"I'm going to have to say it's me right now," he said.

Cut rate
Jelena Dokic is staying in the same $105 hotel that she did last year -- despite earning more than $270,000 in prize money since.

While some players rent five-bedroom houses for up to $20,000 for two weeks, the 17-year-old Serbian-born Australian is staying at a hotel in nearby Putney.

Cash-ing in
Former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash has left a letter with every player at Wimbledon asking for a donation of $750 to Goal UK, a charity dedicated to Third World relief. He shouldn't have a problem.

Men who lose in the first round still pick up $10,740 and women $8,595. The men's winner this year receives $716,250 and the women's winner earns $645,000.

New coach
Greg Rusedski, who was bounced out of the first round at Wimbledon, may get a new coach. The Express newspaper says his father, Tom, wants his son to part company with Sven Groeneveld. Groeneveld is adamant he will keep coaching the Canadian-born Briton.

No moms
The All England Club has banned mothers from the women's dressing area, which conforms with the WTA Tour rules.

Many young women stars travel with their mothers, among them Anna Kournikova and Alexandra Stevenson. Martina Hingis even blamed her first-round loss last year at Wimbledon on the absence of her mother.
