Robin Soderling (7) vs. Rafael Nadal (2)
Roland Garros is coming to an end. Just like last season, Robin Soderling is back to disrupt the perfect Fed-Rafa match. This time, instead of taking out the clay king, he took out his former final rival of last season's Roland Garros. If it wasn't for him, we might have seen a Fed-Rafa final last year. If it wasn't for him, we might also see a Fed-Rafa final this year. There has been talks about the end of Fed-Rafa reign and he might be the key to that. Bjorn Borg is right in predicting that Soderling may take the top ranking soon.
However, it may not be easy for him to win this tournament because this is the final, and Rafael is at the opposite side of the court. Final + Rafa = Disaster for Rob. At least that's what I think. My pick for the final is Nadal in tight 4 sets. Ideally, I would like to see Soderling win this in a five-setter for a change. But who knows, the rain prediction might be an advantage to Robin and he might take this opportunity to hit big serves and might actually produce another shocking result.
