FRENCH OPEN 2010: Soderling Ends Federer's Run



For the second year in a row, Robin Soderling has defeated the reigning French Open champion in four sets. Last year, Soderling pulled off one of the greatest upsets ever by handing Rafael Nadal his first defeat ever at Roland Garros. This year, by defeating Roger Federer 3-6 6-3 7-5 6-4 on a cold, rainy day in Paris, Soderling ended one of the greatest streaks in tennis, if not all sports: Federer had reached the semifinals of the last 23 major tournaments.

Soderling will play against Tomas Berdych (who still has not lost a set) in the semifinal to make the French Open final for the second consecutive year.
