Look For Soderling To Have A Strong Tennis Season

[shantymoon]

big players dont have divine right to win every match
dont discount robin, rafa is beatable and just show me one place in the last years match where rafa wasnt running at full speed or he was wobbling.

rafa will wear him down , soderling is good but will run outta gas , nadal -400 for me , gl all

I agree and Robins been returning the ball very well this week and Nadal doesnt have a better serve then Federer or Berdych so Robin will be able to put more pressure on Nadal in his serve. I also think Robin has a better chance to win if the weather is rainy and the court is wet, Nadal prefers a dry court so he can put a lot of spin on the ball. Robin hits the ball so hard so he can still play his game and powerhouse through the wet clay.

I think its going to be a great match to watch

Wrong. Dry weather is better for Soderling. His 200km/h server will damage Nadal even more on dry weather.

Solid info you seem to know the game.

Will be a awesome game tomorrow and I think Soderling will cause Rafa big problems, he really doesn't suit him well. I like over 37.5 games! GET ON

Soderling serves well over 200km/h even on wet clay, it rained in his match against Federer and he averaged over 210km/h. But I see your point, I just think a wet court will affect Nadal more then it will Soderling.

[jjgold]

That line might come down some

Only thing that scares me is maybe Soderling is a little tired

[StraitShooter]

yeah too bad berdych took him 5 sets while melzer could not get one

who the fuk knows?

soderling may beat him or lose in in tight match..or rafa may beat him 3-0

thats why I cant wait to see it tomorrow..

Heavy clay court due to rain is better for clay court players. The heavy clay slows the ball down and helps Nadal, not Soderling who actually wants the court to look like a hard court and fast so his powerful server and look for winners can damage Nadal badly. If the court becomes slower, Nadal has more time to reach Soderling's balls and will end up having an edge, since he's physically and mentally more prepared for a final than the Swedish.
