Robin Soderling is the only guy that has managed to beat Rafael Nadal at the Roland Garros in 10 years. The Sweden did that in 2009 (R16), but interesting enough he doesn’t like to be remembered only for that.
Soderling: Everybody is asking me only about this match…
Robin is a bit annoyed for everybody asking him about that match to comment “It’s good to be the only one, but everybody is asking me only about this match. I am really proud of many other things in my career: being in the top five, reaching the final of a grand slam twice. I’m actually even more proud of making it to the French Open final in 2010 than the previous year, because defending those points was a big challenge
So maybe it’s better that Rafa loses again, then everybody will stop asking me about it. It’s become a sort of legend, and people often get it wrong: some think that I am the only person ever to beat him in any tennis match, others think it was in the final of the French Open, some even think it was at Wimbledon”
Robin has won 10 career titles and he has reached 2 Roland Garros finals (2009 and 2010)
| SURE ROBIN YOU DON’T LIKE THIS THAT MUCH? |
| SODERLING HAD HIS OWN WAY TO GET UNDER RAFA’S SKIN |
| WE ARE SURE ROGER DOESN’T MIND THAT… |
