Dudi Sela has become the first Israeli man in 20 years to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon.

 

Sela threw his racket in anger after going down a break in the fourth set but rallied to beat Tommy Robredo of Spain 7-6 (8), 7-5, 2-6, 7-5 Friday.

 

Sela became just the fourth Israeli man to reach the round of 16 in a Grand Slam tournament, and the first since Amos Mansdorf at the 1992 Australian Open.

 

Mansdorf also accomplished the feat at Wimbledon in 1989.

 

Sela's next match will be against Novak Djokovic of Serbia.
