Williams, Nadal win openers at Wimbledon WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Back on one of ten- nis’ top stages, Venus Williams cut a familiar figure Mon- day at Wimbledon, from her latest original, somewhat-see- through outfit to her trademark booming serves and aggres- sive groundstrokes. Williams smacked seven aces at up to 118 mph, totaled 23 winners to only five unforced errors, and overwhelmed 97th-ranked Akgul Amanmuradova of Uzbekistan 6-3, 6-1 in the first round at the All England Club. The seven-time major champion recently was off the tour for about five months with a bum hip, including miss- ing the French Open, and this is only her fourth tournament in nearly a year. ‘‘It’s a good place to start. And this is kind of like a home for her. She loves it,’’ said Williams’ hitting partner, David Witt. ‘‘She feels confident out here, and in women’s tennis, ’confident’ goes a long way.’’ There sure was nothing shy about a playsuit Williams called ‘‘trendy’’: white and sleeveless, with a deep ‘‘V’’ neckline, a triangle cut out in the back, a gold belt and gold zipper. ‘‘Jumpers are very ’now,’’’ she explained, ‘‘as is lace.’’ Not as sensational as the corset-like black lace number with skin-toned undergarments that drew so much attention at the 2010 French Open, but Monday’s romper looked something akin to a toga and surely would have won the approval of her Roman goddess namesake. ‘‘She always has something interesting,’’ said the 6-foot- 3 Amanmuradova, a rare opponent taller than the 6-foot-1 Williams. ‘‘It’s good to have something different on the tour. I wear shorts, and everybody is criticizing that I look like a guy. ... If she feels comfortable, perfect. Personally, I would- n’t wear this, because it’s not going to look good on me. But if it’s white, you can play. That’s the rule. If everybody wears the same, it’s boring.’’ Williams’ outfit — and, of course, superb play, which betrayed no lingering effects from her injury — generated the most buzz on Day 1 in the 125th edition of the grass- court Grand Slam tournament. ‘‘I do realize I don’t have as many matches,’’ said Williams, only 5-2 this season and only 9-3 since last July. ‘‘So, yeah, for sure, I know I need to kind of come out fir- ing. Been pretty good at that in the past — and today.’’ Others reaching the second round included 10-time major champion Rafael Nadal, whose parents sat in the See NADAL, page 2B Women of Wilcox Volleyball Clinic the fall will be noon to 3 p.m. Cost is $40 at the door and $35 is registered by June 27 and includes a shirt.

Just don’t expect another one on draft night. At least that’s what general manager Larry Riley pre- dicts. With the trade talk surrounding leading scorer Monta Ellis only growing louder ahead of Thursday night’s NBA draft, Riley said he isn’t planning to send Ellis anywhere — at least not yet. ‘‘It’s very likely that he will not be traded on draft night or even through the summer. I’m not looking at that hap- pening. It would take something that I don’t see for that to happen,’’ Riley said Monday. For all the changes the Warriors have made this offsea- son, they’ve done nothing to improve the roster.
