Sela no match for Nadal in Miami
Israeli beaten in straight sets against Spanish star.
Dudi Sela’s Miami Open tournament is over after he was beaten comprehensively by Rafael Nadal.
In what was only the second meeting between the two players, the first set was a one-way procession, even though only a one break of serve ultimately separated the players. The Israeli though struggled to make any impact on Nadal’s serve, only winning three points on his serve as he lost the first set 6-3.
The second set was a more competitive one, with the Israeli failing to convert two break points when 3-2 up. However, Nadal broke in the seventh game as he won the set 6-4, in a match which lasted just over 80 minutes.
