Robin Soderling had (and probably still has) an interesting career. The Swede reached the French Open finals in both 2009 and 2010 and he is still the only man that has managed to beat the great Nadal at the Roland Garros. Robin achieved a world n.4 career high and he has won 10 career titles.

Unfortunately Soderling has been battling with the mononucleosis for long time and he has been absent from the circuit since 2011. Robin is now 30 so you would think it’s time to call it a career. Yes? Not really… he aims at coming back in 2016.

From Soderling

“I’m actually finally doing a lot better. I wouldn’t say I’m 100%, but not very far from it, which is a great feeling.

Hopefully, if it continues to progress the way it has been, then maybe, it’s tough to say, but maybe six months or a year from now I can hopefully start to train 100%.

My goal was to play a long career and to play until I was way over 30. If I can become healthy, I still feel that I have some good years in me. Look at the way the players on the tour are performing now at a high age – that gives me a little bit of hope.”
