Schuettler dumped out by Swede

Sixth seed Rainer Schuettler was sensationally dumped out of the Australian Open by Swedish teenager Robin Soderling today as the opening Grand Slam of the year began in a whirl of action.

Schuettler was the surprise finalist last year, beating Andy Roddick in the semi-finals before losing to Andre Agassi, but has been in rotten form so far this season.
