Gossip On Sports: Twenty20 World Cup Updates

New Zealand meet South Africa on Tuesday in the Twenty20 World Cup and already punters have the dilemma of a dead rubber. Neither team needs to win this match as they are both through to the next round, although there will be much talk from the respective leaders about building “momentum”.

South Africa are hot favourites at 1.50 and have been so impressive that they have usurped India as favourites to lift the trophy. Those of a nervous disposition worry that the Proteas have peaked too early, a ridiculous suggestion given they have played one game proper - and they didn’t leave first gear.

Gossip On Sports, Soderling To Take First Set

Gossip On Sports is here to let uou all know about "Soderling good value to take first set".

Although we expect Roger Federer to fulfil his ambition today by winning the French Open at Roland Garros there could be a few surprises along the way.

His opponent Robin Soderling has had a terrific tournament, sensationally knocking out world number one Rafa Nadal and claiming the scalps of Fernando Gonzalez, Nikolay Davydenko and David Ferrer too.

Although Federer and Soderling have met nine times before with Federer winning all nine, eight in straight sets, there are reasons to believe that Soderling can take a set today.

Bearing in mind that their previous meetings have included seven tiebreaks, that Soderling has already played seven this tournament and Federer five, and at least one tiebreak looks a certainty.

Soderling has won five out of the six opening sets he has played so far, including the last three against Nadal, Nikolay Davydenko and Gonzalez, while Federer has never had an easy first set and lost three of his last four.
