"Just put your lips together..."Robin Soderling is three matches away from securing a second ATP World Tour title on his home turf (Bastad '09) and fifth overall after swiping aside Andreas Seppi 6-1, 6-3 in Stockholm.
The Roland Garros finalist will face Guillermo Garcia-Lopez for a spot in the final four.
Sod is also still in the running for a spot in the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London.
According to the ATP:
Soderling is currently ninth in the year-to-date South African Airways 2009 ATP Rankings and could add to his points tally by reaching the final or better in Stockholm this week. A runner-up finish would earn the Tibro native 35 points, while his first If Stockholm Open trophy would gift him 135 points – taking him to within 65 points of eighth-placed Fernando Verdasco.Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Juan Martin del Potro and Andy Roddick have already secured their spots.
Could Sod actually leap frog Nando in the next few weeks? Paris-Bercy will be a doozy and not just because it's Marat "SexGawd" Safin's final tourney EVAH.

hehe Marat "SexGawd" Safin's final" is the only reason I'm looking forward to Paris-Bercy.
ReplyDeleteThe running for London final is also adding a flavour to it.
Hooray for Sod and Garcia-Lopez!
ReplyDeleteRichie,
You may need to invest in a case of Kleenex for Marat and Paris.
