BRIEFLY : IVANISEVIC REACHES QUEEN'S CLUB FINAL.

Goran Ivanisevic outlasted Britain's Greg Rusdeski in a third-set tiebreaker which lasted 38 points Saturday to advance to the final of the Queen's Club grass-court tournament today in London.

Both players had six match points and changed ends six times in the tiebreaker before the third-seeded Croatian served his 13th ace to win 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (20-18).

Earlier, sixth-seeded Mark Philippoussis defeated Sweden's Jonas Bjorkman 2-6, 7-6 (7-5), 6-2 to become the first Australian to reach the Queen's final in 17 years.

Top-seeded Yevgeny Kafelnikov beat an agitated Boris Becker 6-3, 6-4 in the semifinals of the $875,000 Gerry Weber Open in Halle, Germany.

The Russian needed four match points to oust the fourth-seeded Becker and reach the final of the Wimbledon tuneup for the second straight year.

Kafelnikov will face eighth-seeded Petr Korda, who defeated Paul Haarhuis 7-6 (7-5), 6-4.

Gustavo Kuerten, the surprise winner of the French Open last week, breezed past Marzio Martelli to advance to the final of the Carisbo International tournament in Bologna, Italy.

The Brazilian, seeded eighth, defeated the unheralded Italian 6-1, 6-2, in just 50 minutes on the clay courts of this $328,000 tournament.

Kuerten, No. 15 in the ATP rankings, will meet Felix Mantilla of Spain in today's final.

MOTOR SPORTS: Jeff Burton was injured in a crash during practice at Michigan Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich., that also took out primary cars for Jeff Gordon and Dick Trickle.

Burton was taken to a hospital in Jackson, Mich., for X-rays after the crash, which began when Gordon lost control of his Chevrolet in turns 3 and 4 at the 2-mile track and spun in front of Fords driven by Trickle and Burton. He was later released.

Burton qualified ninth for today's Miller 400, while Gordon was 12th and Trickle 17th. All three will use back-up cars, though, so they will drop to the rear of the pack before the green flag.

Burton's X-rays found no broken bones. By late afternoon, it appeared likely he would at least be able to start the No. 99 Ford today.

Dale Jarrett, who starts on the pole today, is the 11th driver to win the pole in the past 11 Michigan races.

Joe Amato, Randy Anderson, Jim Yates and Matt Hines were the leaders for today's finals of the Pontiac Excitement Nationals at National Trail Raceway in Hebron, Ohio.

The $1,452,450 event is the 10th stop in the 22-race, $30 million NHRA Winston Drag Racing Series.

BOWLING: Brian Voss won his second PBA title of the year and 18th of his career, beating top-seeded Parker Bohn III 226-201 in the championship match of the Wichita Open in Kansas.
