Israel’s Sela climbs in world tennis rankings2:44 pm Tuesday, April 28, 2009by amanda pazornik I consider myself a “hardcore” tennis fan – I can rattle off rankings, pick out players by their grunts alone and never think twice about losing sleep when there’s a live match to watch – at 3 a.m. When it comes to Israeli tennis players, I can name the big three: Andy Ram, Jonathan Erlich and Shahar Peer.  Yet, according to a recent Jerusalem Post article, there’s another name I should add to that list – Dudi Sela…I know, I was scratching my head too. The 24-year-old handed wildcard Alexandros Georgoudas of Germany a 6-1, 6-0 loss in the first round and will face American Amer Delic next. In other tennis news, the Jerusalem Post reports Erlich will make his long-awaited return from injury in Greece this week, partnering with Amir Hadad to build his fitness level before rejoining Ram in the ATP’s top events. Erlich has been sidelined since the second round of the U.S. Open in August of last year. Ram is playing with Max Mirnyi of Belarus in the Rome Masters this week. The pair, seeded seventh, received a first-round bye. Shahar Peer, who’s playing in Fes, Morocco this week, is ranked 53 in the world.
