Ingen fara med Söderling
Tennisspelaren Robin Söderling drog sig ur matchen mot ryssen Marat Safin i första omgången av ATP-turneringen i Montreal natten till onsdag svensk tid. Anledning: en skada på vänster handled.
- Det är inget allvarligt, säger pappa Bo Söderling till TT.
Robin har haft känningar i handleden några dagar men trodde att han skulle kunna spela mot Safin och gjorde ett försök.
- Det smärtade lite för mycket så han valde att inte fortsätta. Men det är troligen en liten överansträngning bara.
Spel i US open ska inte vara i fara. Grand slamturneringen i New York börjar den 27 augusti.

After the eventfull Wimbledon, traditionaly Robin is taking on another clay tournemant - his home Swedish Open. He had success there in the previous years, including a semifinal in 2004. This year he is seeded seventh and will start against Simone Bolelli. He was challenged only in the beginning, but still managed to break midway through the opening set. From there on he had no problems to break twice more in the second set to set-up a match against Thomas Johansson.

The second round was more tough as Soderling had to overcome the claycourt specialist Fernando Verdasco. The Swede went ahead early in the opening set before serving it comfortably out. But in the second his serve was not so steady and he got broken three times, last one when he was serving to stay in the set. Verdasco won 7-5 and leveled the match.
He also broke Robin in the beginning of the third set, bit this time Soderling broke back and held serve until the end of the set. In the decisive tiebreak the Swede went ahead and even though Verdasco leveled at 4-4, Robin got to a 7-4 win and a place in the quarterfinals in Bastad for third time in his career.

Not so close loss to Moya
Soderling lost the quarterfinal in Bastad to Carlos Moya in straight sets today. He didn't serve well enough and was unable to save any of the three breakpoints he faced. On the other side the Spaniard defended well and saved all five chances for break for Robin.

För första gången sedan 2003 är tre svenskar klara för den andra gången i Catella Swedish Open. Detta sedan Jonas Björkman och Robin Söderling gjort Thomas Johansson sällskap till den andra rundan.
I den sista matchen på centercourten kunde Robin Söderling avfärda den unge italienaren Simone Bolelli utan nämnvärda problem. Robin såg stark ut och styrde spelet med sitt tunga baslinjeartilleri, men var själv ändå inte riktigt nöjd.
- Jag vann, men det fanns inte så mycket mer att vara nöjd med idag. Jag var dålig, men han var som tur var ännu sämre. Jag tycker annars att jag spelade mycket bra i Wimbledon, vilket gav mig självförtroende, kommenterade den 26-rankade svensken.
