THE PALM BEACH POST TUESDAY, JULY 2, 1 99 1 30 iEx-UF star Mitchell wins rematch of Johnson-Lewis I I Track And Field (The Associated Press "VILLENEUVE D'ASCQ, The great rematch turned out to be a great mismatch. The big showdown was a big let- Idown. hero." But Lewis said he was just relieved to have the rematch finally over with. "Let's be honest," he said. "It would never have ended until we had this race.

There would always have been that expectation." The race, however, did not end the two athlete's mutual dislike. As Lewis went down the line before the race offering a handshake to all the runners, Johnson waved him off. "I didn't want to give it to him," Johnson said. "As long as we're competing, that can't happen." Lewis said, "That's his gig. That's his psyche.

The last time we got that close, I had to make him shake it and he won that race." That was in Seoul, South Korea, when Johnson beat Lewis in the 100-meter final. But Johnson subsequently tested positive for steroids, lost his gold medal and world record and was banned for two Leroy Burrell avoided the Johnson-Lewis showdown to win the 200. meters. Burrell, the world recordholder in the 100 at 9.90, took the 200 in a modest time of 20.31. Michael Johnson, the world's top-rated sprinter at 200 and 400 meters, did some avoiding of his own, choosing to run the longer distance after Burrell was confirmed in the Michael Johnson easily won the 400, breezing to a 45.09 over the wet track.

Before the meet, Johnson agreed to return 25 percent of his paycheck if he failed to break 10.17.

Both runners reportedly were offered $250,000. Johnson said he still needs time to regain his form. "I've dealt with my problems for two years now," he said. "It's tough mentally for me. It will take a while for me to come back." Johnson and Lewis are scheduled to run against each other again Aug.

5 in Sweden. "I'm tired," Johnson said. "I've been running seven weeks in Europe. Now it's time to go home and rest." Lewis offered a pessimistic view of Johnson's chances at the World Championships in Tokyo in late August.

should help remove the stigma of drugs from track and field. "This was an important race," Lewis said. "The '80s was the drug era. Now the sport is much cleaner, we're trying to improve things, we're trying to focus more on the athletes. Basically that's what this race was all about.

The race was with clean athletes." Johnson and Lewis avoided all eye contact as they warmed up next to each other. Lewis, in lane four, and Johnson, in lane five, burst out of the starting blocks and were side by side for the first 50 meters, but Lewis pulled away. "I didn't see him, I was just focusing on my race," Lewis said. "That's his race, to run the best 50 he can. But we're running the 100." Johnson said, "At 45 to 50 meters, I tried to change gears but I didn't have enough energy.

At the end I felt like I wasn't too far from Carl." It was Johnson's fifth 100 meters since the suspension. In his enth, nearly 3 meters behind Lewis in 10.46. So much for drama. "It's like comparing a high schooler with a world champion," said Mark Witherspoon, who finished sixth in 10.29. Lewis, running on his 30th birthday, blamed the weather for his modest performance.

"I just felt very tight," he said. "I didn't feel really loose. I started well, but I just wasn't able to accelerate. It was very cold and the rain definitely didn't help us." Nearly ignored in all the hoopla was Mitchell, a consistent sprinter throughout the years who beat Lewis in Spain May 30. "Every track meet I've ben to, it's been Carl and Ben and Leroy (Burrell) he said.

"That's the way it is and it doesn't bother me. I just show up and do my thing: It's the story of my life. I'm an unsung years.

Play was delayed for two minutes while the first- aid staff checked her injury and carried her off. "I wasn't even looking when it happened," Agassi said.

"But I thought something worse had happened. "She wasn't speaking. I was asking her how she was doing, which ankle it was, but I think 1she was in shock." Tunks said she "slipped on the grass and heard something crack. I thought it was my knee, but I have sprained my ankle." She said he hoped to be back in action today. w- 4 i 1 i iniiim unii i.

Seles, the No. 1-ranked woman in the world and winner of the first two of tennis' Grand Slam tournaments (Australian and French opens), blamed the withdrawal on an injury, but never specified what it was, fueling all sorts of speculation. The most recent came from the tabloid newspaper the New York Post, which reported Seles, 17, has been hiding at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate on Palm Beach for a week, avoiding the public and the press.

The team of Beide and Dave was second with 23 points, followed by Arregui-Beri (22), Suarez-Iruta (16), Bascaran-Yannel (15), Mi-chael-Meabe (13), Aramendi-Tim (12) and Benjamin-Mendez (11).

"It's not like a boxing match where you knock the guy out and go celebrate," he said. "I have another match tomorrow against a good player (Jan Gunnarsson). If I don't go out there and play good tennis tomorrow I'd be in a lot of trouble. The big thing is not to get too up after you win. But still, I'm going to enjoy a big win like this." Agassi, a first-round loser in his only previous Wimbledon four years ago, also is gaining confidence with each match and has no seeds in his path to the semifinals.

"As the days go by, I'm starting to understand the concept of grass," he said. "I think grass beats up your body a lot more than other surfaces, in the sense you're always digging out balls and having to bend. "I sure feel like I'm playing well enough to do exceptionally well. But until you can compete against the Edbergs and Beckers, or the big serve-and-volleyers match after match, then that's a true test of your ability on the surface. I think I have shown that I'm a contender for sure." Krajicek served 18 aces against Agassi in only three sets.

But when he didn't get his first serve in with any depth or power, Agassi fired 15 winning returns past him. Krajicek, 19, had only three break points, all in one game, and squandered them all after the match was held up by an injury to a ballgirl. Fetching a ball after one of Agassi's serves at 2-2, 0-40 in the second set, Natasha Tunks, 15, slipped and sprained her ankle. Agassi walked over and asked her if she was all right before medical aides tended her at court-side and carried her off. "She wasn't speaking.

I was asking her how she was doing, which ankle it was, but I think she was in shock," he said. After recovering, Natasha said she thought the injury was worse than it turned out. "I slipped on the grass and heard something crack," she said. "I thought it was my knee but I have sprained my ankle." Agassi saved all three break points and went up to wrap up the set. 'I felt when it came the crucial points," Agassi said, "that's where I had the edge on him." WIMBLEDONfrom 1C Navratilova surpassed Chris vert's record of 111 singles rjiatches at Wimbledon.

If Lendl, 31, saw the opportunity to win here slipping away, he kept it to himself. "I was beaten fair and square," said Lendl, who abandoned his baseline game more than ever to ily his luck at the net. "I'm disappointed, but there's no point to be mgry about it."
