A month ago, Dudi Sela was on top of the world after a tremendous appearance in the Davis Cup.

 

On Sunday, four weeks later, Sela completed a wonderful week in Korea (total awards - $125,000) after winning the Seoul tournament's finals over Konstantinos Economidis - and winning the most important title in his short career.

Sela, who did not lose a single set until the finals, beat Greece's star player (176 in the world) 6:4, 6:4 in the final match.

 

The victory in Seoul granted the number one Israeli player, who was ranked 4 in the tournament, $18,000 and 90 points, taking him from the 92nd place in the world to the 73rd.

 

This will be a record rank for young Sela.
