WIMBLEDON, England ? Anna Kournikova was a double loser Saturday.

Nearly two weeks after being eliminated in the opening round of singles, Kournikova and Chanda Rubin lost their semifinal doubles match 6-7 (3), 6-0, 6-3 to Serena and Venus Williams on Centre Court.

Less than an hour later, Kournikova was out on Court 1 with Jonas Bjorkman playing a quarterfinal mixed doubles match against Mahesh Bhupathi and Elena Likhovtseva. Kournikova double-faulted twice on break points in the second set as she and Bjorkman lost 6-4, 6-2.

Youngsters in final: The Wimbledon men’s singles final today will feature players with the youngest combined ages in Open era history.

David Nalbandian is 20 and Lleyton Hewitt 21. That’s one year less than the combined ages of the 1992 finalists Andre Agassi, who was 22, and Goran Ivanisevic, who was 20.

Nalbandian is the fourth-youngest Wimbledon finalist in the Open era and both men are attempting to be the youngest Wimbledon champion since Boris Becker won in 1985 at the age of 17.

Nalbandian is attempting to become the first man in the Open era and the 10th player overall to win Wimbledon on his debut. The previous best debut in the Open era was John McEnroe’s run to the semifinals as a qualifier in 1977 where he lost to top-seeded Jimmy Connors.

Wimbledon is Nalbandian’s fourth Grand Slam. Only three other players have needed fewer attempts to win their first Grand Slam title Gustavo Kuerten (1997 French Open), Mats Wilander (1982 French Open) and Mark Edmondson (1976 Australian Open), who all won on their third attempt.

What have you done lately?: British newspapers Saturday weren’t sympathetic toward local hope Tim Henman, who lost for the fourth time in five years in the semifinals at Wimbledon.

“Wet, wet, wet … no, not just the Wimbledon weather, just choker Tim,” the Mirror tabloid said on its front page after Henman’s loss to top-seeded Lleyton Hewitt. It continued on the back: “Four semifinals, four-time loser. He blew it again Tim.”

Henman was trying to become the first British male champion since Fred Perry in 1936.

The Express, like many other papers, featured photographs of Henman’s pregnant wife Lucy reacting to her husband’s defeat.

“It all ends in tears,” the headline read. “Hurricane Hewitt ends Henman’s bid for crown.”

The Guardian criticized Henman’s remodeled all-around game under new coach Larry Stefanki.

“So the Model II Henman has no major weapon, just a nice game,” the Guardian wrote. “These days, when he serves, he peers over the net like a lost child looking for his parents. Henman was out-psyched and out-played. The semi-man.”

“Extiminated,” said The Sun. “It’s the Hend, Tim goes out.”

The Times was a little more sympathetic.

“We ought to appreciate Henman while he is still about. … There’s nobody treading on his heels. Not in this country.”

Crowded in the box: The royal box at Wimbledon for Saturday’s women’s final included former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher; the U.S. ambassador to Britain, William Farish; Maria Bueno, a former three-time Wimbledon champion in singles and five times in doubles; 1977 women’s champ Virginia Wade; and Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee.

Morrisey in the chair: Mike Morrisey, a 33-year-old graduate in medieval history at the University of Surrey, will be the chair umpire for the men’s singles final today between Hewitt and Nalbandian. It will be Morrisey’s fourth men’s singles final at Wimbledon he did previous finals in 1994, 1998 and 2000. He first officiated at Wimbledon at the age of 17 in 1987.
