Schuettler sunk by stubborn Sela

RAINER SCHUETTLER, a semi-finalist 12 months ago, became the second biggest casualty of the men’s singles at Wimbledon when he lost in straight sets to Israeli Dudi Sela.

Schuettler, 33, who was beaten by Rafael Nadal in the last four in 2008, led 5-2 in the first set but Sela turned around the match to win 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 6-2 on his second appearance at the All-England Club.

“I’ve played him a few times and I’ve never beaten him so I think he likes my game,” said Schuettler.
