Nadal v Soderling Quarter Final

[MichaelNadal]

Nadal to pick Soderling apart like a freshly grilled shishkabob :twisted:

 

[Alex13]

Time for the King!

All I have to say to the King is ... good luck with this match. Just don't choke if you get to the final and it happens to be against someone with a strange looking nose!

I didn’t know that Soderling was of royal decent

 

[ksbh]

ROFL!

Anyways, Guga doesn't think the King has much of a chance against Rafa. Needless to say, having heard his remarks I don't like Guga very much at this point!

How many kings do we have on TT?

First there was Fed, then Nadal and Nole.

Now it's SoderKing.

wut?

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Fight Fight Fight!!!!!!!

 

[joeri888]

Looking at the flags, I gotta feeling that Nadal is gonna steamroll soderling

6-4 6-2 6-2

 

[ksbh]

Now you know!

I didn’t know that Soderling was of royal decent

 

[GOAT BAAH!!!]

Ted Robinson is abysmal.

Mcenroe needs to stop talking about Pink Floyd and hitting with Noel.

Anxious for the match.

Hoping for a classic.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Lol @ McEnroe tiring Djokovic out

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Wind is gonna hurt Soderling lots

Stupid BBC playing the stupid Murray match. Is there seriously anyone who'd rather watch Murray vs. CHELA(!) than Nadal-Soderling? I don't care if they're contractually obliged to play Murray, it still grinds my gears!

I thought you were going for Rafa, no?

 

[ssonosk]

where is my damn HD

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Here we go!

 

[Jeepers]

Apparently Nadal has dropped his string tension by 1 kilo

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

For the love of god, don't roll in the 1st serve

 

[Deleted member 77403]

this could get bloody...

 

[Sentinel]

Rafa looking crisp. Soddy serving. 15 all.

 

[niff]

Brit Eurosport is showing Murray too, somewhat ridiculously.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

30-15 without a serve...

 

[joeri888]

this could get bloody...

Bloody messy in the head of the swede yes

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Soderling in trouble fast, needs to find a big serve badly

 

[Lsmkenpo]

oh HC is sod's best surface now? that's not the tune you were singing last year before wimbledon Lskempo.

This isn't my opinion it is fact, look at his titles and the surface. If I had to choose the surface for Soderling to play Nadal I would certainly pick HC or grass over clay. The game is about match ups not just surface.

I know you are usually wrong about everything with respect to soderling, so I take it you are expecting a win today?

I already gave my opinion on the match in the first couple of pages, I said Soderling has to return serve better than he has so far this tournament to have a chance. This is the key to the match if he can not pressure Nadal's serve he will lose.

 

[joeri888]

This match is over

 

[MichaelNadal]

Bamos

 

[Beryl]

lol, this match is already over. Congrats Nadal.

 

[Sentinel]

Soderling looks out of form completely. Nadal will have a cakewalk against Bobby.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Simply awful first game. Watching Nadal on TV, Murray on computer

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Told you, the only guy who can beat Nadal here is playing Gluten Free, and his name is NOT Soderling.

 

[Legend of Borg]

LOL!!!!

Back to the Chela match I guess.

 

[MichaelNadal]

It's hilarious how everyone is giving up at 1-0 in the first set of a 5 set match. COME ON NOW!

 

[TheMagicianOfPrecision]

LOL at the experts saying that the match is over after the 1st game- although I agree, that 1st game was awful from Robin

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Missing into the open court. What is this?

 

[joeri888]

Told you, the only guy who can beat Nadal here is playing Gluten Free, and his name is NOT Soderling.

Conditions being like they were the first few days, I'd given Soderling or Federer a chance

 

[JeMar]

Sod with four unforced errors to start the match.

 

[TheMagicianOfPrecision]

Told you, the only guy who can beat Nadal here is playing Gluten Free, and his name is NOT Soderling.

You might be right, even though it is just the beginning of the match so far.
Its a sign of weakness at the ATP-tour that after so many years only Novak has found an answer to beat Nadal on clay

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Jesus Christ, Robin. Chela has BP

 

[Crayola Oblongata]

I had the 'feeling' before the match in '09 that Sod would win, I've never once felt it for this match.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Wow, so many UEs

 

[powerangle]

It's hilarious how everyone is giving up at 1-0 in the first set of a 5 set match. COME ON NOW!

I know right?

For all we know, Sod wakes up from here, or loses the first set to come back later.

 

[joeri888]

Nadal upping his game last few days. He be faking?

 

[Buckethead]

Soderling in trouble fast, needs to find a big serve badly

hey man, where the heck have you been?

Back to Soderling, He is already under playing.

He needs to pick up his game quickly.

 

[ductrung3993]

Soderling is being over-pathetic.

 

[bezs]

Oh Sod step it up

 

[niff]

Nadal upping his game last few days. He be faking?

His FH looks better, they said at the start that Nadal had dropped his string tension looking for more depth.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Soderling cannot beat a healthy Rafa on clay, period.

 

[Buckethead]

Soderling picking on Nadal's BH is not paying off. He can't accomplish the hit on Nadal's BH and hit it cross court.

 

[TheMagicianOfPrecision]

Robin wtf is this, seriously!??!?! :evil::evil:

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Soderling brilliantly hitting to Nadal's forehand.

 

[joeri888]

Soda is hitting the ball terrible. He gets enough short replies. In 2009 he pounced and made each and everyone of them. Now he doesn't even try to go for it.

 

[GOAT BAAH!!!]

YES!!!!!!!!!

running forehand.
