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.
