Edberg, a two-time Wimbledon champion, is retiring at the end of this year. sentimental, played with a go-for-broke abandon that the 30-year-old Edberg could not match, hence this 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 swan song for the expert at the hands of the neophyte.

"I'm playing my last, he's playing his first, and maybe he's taking over in my steps," Edberg said of the 58th-ranked Tillstrom. "He's a tough guy, a very talented guy. "I missed way too many first serves, and that was the problem," said Edberg, who also played a disastrous final game, in which a botched forehand volley sent Tillstrom to match point, and a feeble backhand return into the net sealed the upset. Edberg's Wimbledon breakthrough came in 1988, when he won the championship at Boris Becker's expense. He relinquished the title to the powerful German in 1989.

"It has been a strange Wimbledon, the strangest one I've been to in all my years," Sampras said. "But I wasn't worried. I know what I can do out there." A willowy figure across the net from the taller, thick-limbed Philippoussis, Sampras had the edge this time in his experience on grass, his craftiness in moving serves from line to line, his ability to return better, and his defter touch on volleys. For Philippoussis, 19, it was an impressive Centre Court debut, though he showed he still has much to learn about returning serves and being quicker and more creative at the net. "He has a huge game," Sampras said.

"There's no question that he's got to work on some things, but the talent is there. He kind of reminded me of when I first played here. He takes very long swings, and just takes a huge crack at it, which is good if things are going well. But he has to find a way to control it, and start making some returns and passing shots. He has to be a little bit more in control." Philippoussis understood exactly what Sampras meant.

"It doesn't matter if you can serve big, if you can't get a return in," Philippoussis said. "That's what I've got to try to learn. At least make him play a bit. I don't think I made him play nearly enough. "Acing means nothing.

I would prefer to serve no aces and win the match than serve 500 aces and lose the match. First serves and first volleys are more important than smacking away on my serve. But I'm still young, and I'm sure I'll learn that as I get on." Edberg, meanwhile, walked off the Wimbledon court for the last time with the fans chanting "Edberg, Edberg," filled with thunderous applause. The unassuming two-time Wimbledon champion, who is retiring at the end of the year with his best tennis long behind him, said goodbye with his loss to Tillstrom.

Homeister Jr. came back to town at the start of the Hialeah schedule in March, shortly after the death of Larry Lyons, long the man in her mother's hfe. "I wouldn't go to New Jersey because of the weather, so she decided to come here to be with me," the jockey's mother said.

"For the four years since she left to ride, I had nobody here from my own family. There has been a big void in my life without her." Homeister Jr. spent the winter on the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-New York circuit that has been her base for four years, riding at five tracks in five states from New York to Maryland. Mother and daughter went to a picnic together on their last Tuesday off in May. On Calder's other day off that week, they shopped in Coral Gables for dresses for trainer Toni Tortora's wedding.

"I've lived in South Broward for 26 years and this is the first time I've ever been to Coral Gables," Homeister said. "I've never been to Metrozoo or the Seaquarium or the Parrot Jungle. I've lived on a (horse) farm for 26 years and a farm means work. I loved it, but I worked nonstop. I never had time to go out of my own driveway.

"With Rose here, my life has changed. I'm tickled she is here." Last month, mother and daughter bought a two-bedroom house together in Miramar, not far from Calder. Homeister who will be 24 in July, has a physically demanding life, her mother said, "At 7 o'clock, she is ready to go to sleep, Homeister said. She is at the track (for morning work outs) at 6 a.m., and she never gets to leave until 10 o'clock. She is not the only one.

All the jockeys have to do it or they don't get horses to ride. "Then she is back at the track for the races in the afternoon. "But being in Florida is a change for her from being on the road day and night, the way she has been for the last four years, She was ready for a change." The trainer was ready for her daughter to come home During the races at Calder, Homeister often has been dressed in black since Lyons' death. "I wore brown two days at the end of May," she said. "I'll get my colors out before long.

Homeister Jr. is getting used to the change, too. When she won with Wild Hurrah in the third race Thursday, she moved into the Top 10 for the first 26 days of the summer season at Calder.
