Schuettler wins maiden title
German Rainer Schuettler ended the run of qualifier Taylor Dent in the final of the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam to claim his first title of the season. It had been a tough week for Schuettler, who defeated three seeded players en route to the final including top seed Roger Federer in the semi finals, but after a dismal opening set, he proved to have too much for his American opponent. From here, both men are going to play the first grass court event of the season next week in Aberystwyth, where they shall both be seeded.
