Federer is desperate for that one elusive title - French Open. Three times in the final (2006, 2007 & 2008) and three times the agony as Nadal demonstrates his class on clay court finals. This time, with Nadal crashing out in the fourth round, could this be the year? Enter Robin Soderling - 23 seed - world #15. The only Swede currently to be ranked inside the ATP top 100 - Sweden's next generation since the great Bjorn Borg and the more recent Stefan Edberg. He defeated Nadal in 4 sets - ending Nadal's 4 year winning streak - 48-0 record, in Roland Garros.
Can we expect an epic battle similar to that of Nadal-Federer, or is the chap from Tibro going to bow in awe to Swiss superiority? Judging from his performance against Fernando Gonzalez, it ain't no fluke victory against Nadal. Greatness beckons.
