Not since David beat Goliath, has a diminutive Israelite beaten such a  massive opponent.

When the Israeli singles tennis champ Dudi Sela (five foot, nine inches) took on John Isner (six foot, ten inches) on Wimbledon’s court 12 , spectators assumed that he’d be crushed, especially as Isner is ranked 21st in the world and Sela is  90th.

But the Israeli secured a shock victory.

The win propelled the Israeli player to the third round of the competition.
