PARIS .- Robin Soderling has a scale proportionate. It is a very long player that allows you to save a step further. Solve many of the early onslaught of Rafael Nadal and then organize their pattern of play during the exchanges. Opposed to champion better than others often do, forcing him to make more shots from the usual.
Unlike what is sometimes customary, the Swedish were more content, despite its worst showing in the face off the second part. Their service was crucial, not only by the speed of ball, which came to be quite regularly above 220 kilometers per hour, but by the same boat, forcing Nadal to subtract from behind and go to From there, a trailer. The Spanish, by contrast, went slack with their service. Do not get hurt with them and decided to secure the draw and reducing risks losing domain options as well.
Soderling forced him to play almost always behind the net, getting their first shipments, either the service or the other, it could mandar. Nadal took only moments of respite, it was puff, without being able to find solutions.
With days like yesterday, cloudy, windy, the ball does not take the weight and become devalued the effects that can impress the world number one, who knows what is roll back the opponent through the power of your lift. Nor Soderling, Swedish, suffered the heat sometimes punished both in this competition.
He had a delightful afternoon to stay cool physically and mentally, without carrying the party to a melee in which almost all losers often end up before a man of strength and rennet, Nadal. His ball yesterday, did not fly much, so the giant could walk properly Tibro forward. There was this time the man with a tendency to shoot away, but its shares eased with serenity and intelligence. He had the conviction to develop inner happiness with some quite clear, well defined.
Soderling knew the formula to try to beat the great dominator of the earth and knew how to implement it. Nadal had arrived in Paris better than ever, with more titles and more wins for the first time as world number one. He did what he had to do, which was planned as planned, as in previous years things were great.
Simply, you might miss something cool in sets of maximum demand. And it was less robust than normal in the early days.
The Spanish Rafael Nadal lamented its decline in Roland Garros, the first of its life on the Parisian clay, pointing out that the losses “do not enhance anything,” while he complained of the lack of affection that the public in Paris to him: “It is a pity that a detail never have me,” he regretted.
“The defeats did not enhance anything, unfortunately,” said world number one after falling 6-2, 6-7 (2-7), 6-4 and 7-6 (7-2) to Swedish Robin Soderling, 25 world ranking in the final round.
The trip became “human” Nadal, who had 31 victories and four consecutive titles on clay in the Bois de Boulogne. “It’s not my best day …”, admitted Nadal. “I’m not very happy, that is true. It’s hard to lose in a Grand Slam, especially in one where you have better chance of winning than the other.”
“I have to trust me to follow, but if I missed it because the preparation was not perfect,” added the Spanish, who joked with his preparation for the season on British turf. “My preparation for the swimming pool is now my home,” he said laughing before resuming serious analysis of his defeat.
“The fight is not always enough, you have to play good tennis. Many people think that the physical gain. Today, when I had my time to take advantage of it.” Nadal played the game against Soderling, three and a half hours, with constant encouragement from the Swedish public towards Paris, which did not pass unnoticed in Spanish. “I’m accustomed, I know the names of all my rivals here.” “It’s a shame that in a tournament that means so much to me never have a breakdown of the public,” he added. Nadal said it was “much less” the worst defeat of his career.
With the Swiss Roger Federer still in the race in the contest, Nadal wish the world’s number two in its attempt to win the only Grand Slam that he resists. “It would be good (to win) to complete the Grand Slam. If anyone deserves it is him.”
Wilander: “I think Federer will open a few beers tonight ‘
The Swedish Mats Wilander, triple Roland Garros champion, believes the Swiss Roger Federer “Abir few beers” to celebrate the surprise defeat of Spanish Rafael Nadal. “I think Federer will open a few beers tonight,” said former world number one, you see a tournament “open” as ever.
“Without Rafa opens the tournament, all are candidates. But Roger is a great opportunity is your chance,” added the Swede, who currently serves as a tennis analyst in the chain “Eurosport”.
Federer, 27, sum of 13 Grand Slam titles, one fewer than the record 14 in the hands of American Pete Sampras. The big challenge is the Swiss winning Roland Garros, the only one of the four Grand Slam not won the championship trophy.
Nadal defeated then world number one in the 2005 semifinals and the finals in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Especially humiliating to the Swiss was falling 12 months ago, when the Spanish dealt him a 6-0, 6-3 and 6-1.

* The number one needed four hours to defeat Djokovic (3-6, 7-6, 7-6)
* He saved three match balls in the ‘tie break’ final
* To be confronted in the final to Federer, who eliminated Del Potro (6-3, 6-4)
MADRID .- Rafael Nadal has qualified for the finals of the Madrid Masters in 1000 after winning a long and spectacular game to Novak Djokovic. (3-6, 7-6, 7-6). It is the fourth victory of the Serbian Spanish so far this season, all on clay. The fans packed the track of the Magic Box Central enjoyed a brutal match, which lasted over four hours, and that will be remembered as one of the most difficult to win for the number one throughout his career. Nadal will face in the final to Roger Federer, who beat Juan Martin del Potro (6-3, 6-4). [Narration] [Album]
Is beyond doubt that the track of the Magic Box Central were the two best players on clay in the world. Nadal, undisputed king so far on this surface, Djokovic has found an honorable opponent. Without, as the Spanish and South American players, with a tradition of a school ground, ‘Nole’ is already a specialist. His effort to learn the peculiarities of a very uneven track has a lot to do with progression, but also the times he has played and lost to Rafa Nadal.
The three defeats at the number one in this season Djokovic served in a different way to bring this party. The only way to break the number one clay is used the same weapons as them. Writing is easy, it is difficult to put into practice what she learned the track after the finals of Monte Carlo and Rome, also played Davis Cup but on this occasion it was only the Serbian salute. The Balkan and seen what was the result, it is no exaggeration to think that torture should be a face Nadal.
You can not blame any party by Djokovic. Until the fifth game of the third set did not lose a game with your service. More than two sleeves continually putting out their best player of the world. Serbian soon realized that if he continued taking Nadal would have controlled. In addition, in the second game of the crash had already succeeded in breaking the Spanish service. The triumph came in the first part without giving any option to Nadal to contest the dominance of the Balkans.
The tiebreaker that decided the second race was the result of 12 games in which the services were imposed, but the feelings that gave Djokovic still better than those of Nadal. The shooting was still playing his best tennis, was unable to force a single choice of ‘break’ and had to cope with three against. Concentration, once again the engine that kept him connected to the party, made him overcome these bad times, reaching the ‘tie break’ and tie the game.
The manga was a third layer of the second in what has turned out and hegemony of the services covered, but the sentiment exceeded. Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic showed the best of the sport in an unforgettable hour and 34 minutes. Touched both physically needed the assistance of physician-throwing tournament of pride not to give in and force the opponent to be better to win each point. ‘Nole’ had not reached his hand back to the sudden death to break the service of his opponent in the fourth game, but in the fifth Nadal returned the insult. The ‘tie break’ would decide again. Were 20 extra points. Once again, Djokovic made their choices-go three match-balls, not Nadal, who needed only two to bring it to the final.
It’s easy after a game and sentencing the loser and predict that if you have not won for keeping everything, it will not ever. Djokovic may have missed his big chance and never will be so close to beat Nadal on clay, but noting the growth in this area, the Serbian at least deserves the benefit of the doubt. Rafa did not have a good day-no forced committed 50 errors and only once broke the service of his rival, but do not know surrender. Djokovic realizes that he can win on clay at any time, in the same way as the dome to Roger Federer on grass and fast track. Tennis rematch offer a ‘Nole.
Federer destroys Del Potro

* The ‘number one’ debuts tonight before Jurgen Melzer, 27th in the ATP ranking
* Only one has sold in September in the 15 matches he has contested in 2009 on land
The expectation created around Rafael Nadal is such that it seems that until we debut not be started around the 1000 Madrid Masters. The premiere of the number of the world serve as a boost for a tournament yet something cold, you need the great idol of the fans to finally smell tennis in the Magic Box. Free, of course, in the first round, Nadal will skip to the clay this afternoon (16.00) to Jurgen Melzer, the world number 27 and that comes from eliminating the Spanish Albert Montanes.
The time it takes to prevent the meeting to address all of the track seats Manolo Santana, but the atmosphere is spectacular. Although we have already played first swords as Roger Federer, Andy Murray or Fernando Verdasco in the Magic Box is anxiously awaiting the appearance of man in the central keep, with no other tennis player is able to make a shadow on the capital of Spain. Nadal also wants to begin talking on the track and to have the small controversy arose on Saturday after his press officer.
To the media, Rafa Nadal criticized the “disorder” that was found on his first visit to the complex where the tournament is held and the track conditions in which trained on Friday and Saturday: “It was bad enough boats, and combined with the height of Madrid, makes complicated to play. ” In addition, the shooting was not playing in the future on earth blue, instead of the classic red clay. These statements were tough to dig Manolo Santana and Ion Tiriac, the two most responsible for the 1000 Masters.
In his second appearance before the media, the number one qualified his words. He praised the facilities and apologized “logical disorder,” Nadal as something normal in a tournament that begins to walk. ” In addition, the tennis thanked all the affection that the public in Madrid has spent in each training prior to the debut and on each occasion he has played in the capital. So much better.
Melzer, affordable rival
There is no place on earth where Rafa Nadal will find more support in the Magic Box. The public, who will attend first mass at the huge facility, you will want to see the idol crushing defeat to Jurgen Melzer, the world number 27, almost 28 years and with only one tournament in his achievements. Not a rival concern when considering that Nadal has lost only one set in 15 matches he has contested this year on earth.
Despite this, Melzer, free from pressure and recognize that you are normal is that Thursday is back to Austria or tourism in Madrid, will not be handed out to the track to try and secure the number one trouble. If Nadal was not attached to the surface, the Austrian will create problems.
It will be the second time that Nadal Melzer and face. The only time we were at the track was in the quarter-finals of the Olympic Games in Beijing. The Spanish made sure the fight for medals after winning without undue complications in straight sets (6-0, 6-4).
Rafa Nadal debuts today (16:00) at the Magic Box of Mutual Madrileña Madrid Open at the Austrian Jurgen Melzer, aged 27 and 27 th in the world ranking. He fears that it will be engulfed by an “avalanche”, as in the Beijing Games (6-0, 6-4) but on clay, where the world No 1 is still king.
The Madrid tournament has taken over the timing of Hamburg, who won an event last year after a forced rest by early defeat in Rome to Juan Carlos Ferrero, due to a blister on one foot. Normally, in the German city is not presented or played according to the efforts undertaken in the other strengths of the soil before Roland Garros (Monte Carlo, Rome and Godó).
The height of Madrid attracts manacorí not overpaid, given the proximity to Paris, but playing at home it means for an extra incentive as in Barcelona and has estimated that energy has become the traditional marathon on earth in a middle race given his enormous superiority in the field. Pentacampeón Godó and in Monte Carlo, Rome tetracampeón if lifted the trophy in the Fund would be full for the first time in his career before seeking a record fifth consecutive Roland Garros crown.
“The height (over 600 meters) and the track more conducive to semi cover Verdasco, who is here, Djokovic and Federer,” Nadal warned that you can better control the ball at sea. Under current conditions, the punch enhance your weapon, and that flat stick, but the red clay can not be a priori more bookmark Rafa, unbeaten in their last 30 duels on that surface, on which his balance is 147 wins and 4 losses since 2005.
