Israeli Dudi Sela showed plenty of heart but just fell short against Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka losing a nerve-jangling encounter 4-6 6-2 5-7 in the semi-finals of the $400,000 Chennaiu00a0Open on Saturday. Earlier, Marin Cilic booked a berth in the final crushing a listless Janko Tipsarevic 6-1 7-5. Sela played out of his skin to stretch fancied Wawrinka. In a late night match, Indian hopes in the doubles ended with Somdev Devvarman and Sanam Singh going down to Janko Tipsarevicu00a0 and Yen-Hsun Lu 3-6 6-4 5-10 in the semis.
