  • Dudi Sela vs. Rainer Schuettler for a spot in the Beijing final

    9/26/08 7:48 PM | Jonathan Morgan
    - Sela has taken out Ferrer and Robredo this week while Schuettler is coming off a win over Gasquet. Both men have a great shot here to make the finals.

    Sela has looked great all week. He has been playing within his game but taking it to every one of his opponents. Schuettler has been as solid as anyone can be this week. This one will be a fun contrast of styles.

    Sela will attempt to hit a solid first serve and then take control of the point with aggressive baseline play and will come to the net when needed to finish off points. Schuettler will try to defend this assault from the Israeli and turn the tables on him. The German will keep his ground from the baseline and be patient. He will look for an opening and take it when he can.

    Schuettler is nine years Sela's senior and has that experience to back him up. Sela has never reached an ATP final and the pressure might possibly get to him. The market calls Schuettler a slight favorite in this one, but it's a pretty even match here. Whether or not Sela can keep up his aggressive but clean play will be crucial to the outcome of this match. If he can, he's going to win. If not, he'll be in trouble. This one is a toss-up.
