Hippensteel to play in Wimbledon
Wimbledon begins Monday, and former North Cross and Stanford standout K.J. Hippensteel will be playing doubles. Hippensteel and Newport News native Tripp Phillips will face Stephen Huss and Ross Hutchins. Hippensteel and Phillips earned their berth in the main draw through a Wimbledon qualifier. Hippensteel lost his first-round match in the singles qualifier. Hippensteel, 28, is 0-3 in Grand Slam men’s matches, having played U.S. Open doubles in 1998 and 1999 and U.S. Open singles in 2004. But he does own an NCAA doubles title and a U.S. Open boys’ doubles crown, and he once made the Wimbledon boys’ doubles semifinals. But he underwent surgeries in 2005 and 2006. — Mark Berman
