Soderling takes first set ... beginning to think a Federer-Soderling final would be good...

No, it wouldn't. Would be over in an hour and fifteen.

Gonzalez wouldn't be much better though.

...dunno...think Federer would put up a bit of a fight....

Gonzo just has to hang in there and weather this storm (so ironic that I'm saying that, normally you say that to Gonzo's opponent)

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Soderling is playing very very well.

 

[vogue]

..agreed,there has been some great tennis...Soderling breaks now to go 6-5 in second set..he's been playing some amazing tennis...

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

I reckon he could test Federer with the way he's playing.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

36 winners to 14 unforced errors for Robban. Sounds basically perfect.

 

[Jono]

Gonzo takes the 3rd!

Shows the value of just hanging in there!

 

[Jono]

Even though he lost the 3rd set, the consistent winners Soderling has hit over the last 4 matches is ridiculous.

Gone in underdog vs. Ferrer, Nadal, Davydenko and now Gonzo, yet has hit them off the court (so far).

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Gonzo spitting a dummy over a line call.

 

[duffer]

Holy ****, this could be epic now.

 

[Jono]

LOL @ Gonzo wiping his arse on the line Ridiculous.

What a man, just took the 4th set!

Showing a completely different side to his game today.

 

[vogue]

2 sets all.... Gonzalez has picked up his game somewhat , despite that controversial call in the fourth...

 

[vogue]

Gonzalez going 3-0 up in the fifth and looking good...might be his after all...

 

[Jono]

This is such inspirational stuff. Played great defensive tennis when up against it, and now is attacking with Soderling cracking.

 

[Jono]

Wow, Soderling looked like he was about to go down a double break, instead he holds and breaks Gonzo

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Soderling suddenly catching fire again.

 

[vogue]

...turning into a great game this from both men..Soderling breaking back...

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Where on earth did that break come from.

'mon Robban!

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Jeez awesome comeback from Soderling here.
