Brisbane Final--Soderling vs Roddick

[Walenty]

Here we go, Sod and Roddick about to play yet another hard court match tomorrow that looks to be very promising.

Sod leads the H2H 3-2:

ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Paris
France Hard Q Soderling, Robin
7-5, 6-4 Stats

2010 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Cincinnati
OH, U.S.A. Hard R16 Roddick, Andy
6-4, 6-7(7), 7-6(5)

2010 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Indian Wells
CA, U.S.A. Hard S Roddick, Andy
6-4, 3-6, 6-3

2008 Lyon
France Carpet Q Soderling, Robin
7-6(5), 7-6(5)

2008 Memphis
TN, U.S.A. Hard Q Soderling, Robin
7-6(6), 6-3

Very close sets in each match. Soderling can also reach #4 in the World with a win I believe.

Who ya got? :twisted:

 

[NamRanger]

Roddick in 3, Soderling tends to crumple to guys who can hold serve and just put alot of balls in play (i.e. Federer).

 

[jman]

I'd have to say Soderling between the two. Roddick is in good form, but Soderling is absolutely crushing the ball. Two very close sets with Soderling coming out on top.

 

[MichaelNadal]

I think Le Sod will take it.

 

[wy2sl0]

Mental edge to Roddick in the breakers + consistency.

2 tight sets, maybe three.

Roddick has a habit of making great players look good and good players look great. We'll see.

 

[Richards19]

Hope Roddick will be able to defend his title, but honestly, I think the Swede will take it

 

[Richards19]

Roddick not able to win free points on his serve.. result: bp

 

[onyxrose81]

As much as I like Andy, Sod will win.

 

[Richards19]

and a break for soderling :?

 

[onyxrose81]

That's it folks.

 

[NamRanger]

You would think that after losing so many matches playing this way someone in Roddick's camp would have figured it out by now.

 

[Richards19]

A-Rod is frustrated right now.

 

[onyxrose81]

Eh...you can't make someone follow through on a game plan. That's all on Andy.

 

[Richards19]

the big problem for Roddick is Soderling read his serve very well. The American is so vulnerable without his main weapon

 

[NamRanger]

Sometimes, I honestly do feel that TW users could coach Roddick better.

the big problem for Roddick is Soderling read his serve very well. The American is so vulnerable without his main weapon

Not even, Roddick just has no follow up to his serve.

 

[Richards19]

he should try to be more agressive

 

[NamRanger]

he should try to be more agressive

That is what he has needed to do for.... I don't know 6 years.

 

[Richards19]

That is what he has needed to do for.... I don't know 6 years.

I remember last year in Miami, he played brillantly against Nadal. He was very agressive when he beat him. But since them...

 

[Fedace]

How many hours away is this match ??

 

[NamRanger]

Roddick will start to get more balls in play. He always finds a way to get into these type of matches.

He needs to just hit the ball flatter, putting spin on the ball on this surface just lets it sit up and let Soderling crunch on the ball.

 

[Richards19]

He was behind the baseline (the point at 15 all). How he can win a point like this against the Swede?

 

[SuperDuy]

Hate soderling.

Strike first before Soderling.

 

[SuperDuy]

Link please for the match, prferable an english one.

 

[FD3S]

Man, Roddick doesn't even have to go Miami on his FH; he just has to hit it a bit flatter and more aggressive. No need to beast it and go all out on every ball, just keep it from going into Soderling's wheelhouse.

He probably won't, though.

 

[Richards19]

[Fedace]

I am going to sleep now. It looks like it will be on in about 4 hours ??

Thanks. cv

 

[Richards19]

Strike first before Soderling.

For sure, and stop to just getting the ball on play, otherwise, he'll be outplayed

 

[kishnabe]

It going on right now!?

 

[NamRanger]

Stop chipping 2nd serves in. Hit it. Wow.

 

[Richards19]

It going on right now!?

Of course, Sods has win the first set 6-3, and it's tied 2-2 at the second

 

[Richards19]

Finally Roddick win a point at the back of the court. And a COME ON, he just saved a BP

 

[Richards19]

That's the way I want to see him play!!!

 

[FD3S]

I'll say this; Roddick's doing well to stay in this match despite being being outgunned right now.

 

[NamRanger]

There you go, you don't have to clobber the ball but keep it abit lower so he can't kill it -_-

 

[Richards19]

A-Rod has win a big game on his serve, 3-2 now

 

[DownTheLine]

[powerangle]
