BRIEFLY : BECKER WINS WIMBLEDON TUNEUP.

Boris Becker beat his old nemesis Stefan Edberg in two sets Sunday to win the Queen's grass-court tournament in London with the two former Wimbledon champions looking sharp in the all-important warm-up for tennis' most glamorous event.

Becker, who won the year's first Grand Slam at the Australian Open and missed the French Open with an injury, was patchy in victories leading up to the Queen's final.

But in the 6-4, 7-6 (7-3) victory against Edberg, his serve was better and his backhand was lethal as he won his fourth title here in his fifth final. The win came almost 11 years to the day after Becker's first tour win - also on the Queen's surface in the West End London club.

``I can't believe it's been 11 years ago,'' said Becker, who has won six Grand Slams since then. ``I had to be on my game today. . . . Stefan was having some of the best returns of the game. Even though I had good first serves, I had to work hard on my second serve and my volleys.''

American Richey Reneberg stormed to a 6-4, 6-0 victory over Frenchman Stephane Simian to win the Heineken Open tennis tournament in Rosmalen, Netherlands.

Jacques Villeneuve won the support of a record crowd at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal. He didn't win the race, though. The hometown favorite finished second behind Williams-Renault teammate Damon Hill, who overpowered the field.

Hill, a 35-year-old Englishman, started from the pole and led all but eight of 69 laps on the 2.741-mile Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, named after Jacques' late father.

After another disappointing finish at Le Mans, France, Mario Andretti isn't sure he'll return to the 24-hour endurance race. Andretti's team finished 13th, losing more than two hours in the pits for repairs that put his car 39 laps behind the winning TWR Porsche driven by American Davy Jones, Manuel Reuter of Germany and Alexander Wurz of Austria.
