Djokovic v. Soderling Rome 2011 Quarter-Finals

[MrJamesLongstreet]

Very sad to hear that Robin Soderling still suffers greatly from mononucleosis/glandular fever. I read that some days he can´t even get up from the coutch/bed. He was ranked as high as 4 in the world but was for most part a real solid world nr 5. His tennis-career is in great danger to end. His latest (could be the last) match was when he won the tournament Baastd/Sweden/2011. Robin we need you back!!!

its a really good match

good hardhitting

Djokovic only applause when he wins

[BasteReginald]

@AznVi3tx No.... Djokovic is one of the few guys that applauds his opponent when they hit great shots. Roddick does it too but those are the only two guys I have seen.

[spankanthony]

@BasteReginald Nalbandian is a big applauder also.

[AznVi3tx]

Im glad Novak beated him, i hate him

[davidm973]

@AznVi3tx why?

[awesomewai]

Man, Soderling hits so big..

[wuhanbaobao]

I really have to say that Djokovic did a LOT of drop shots on Soderling since he is so far behind the baseline~~

[Sagesk8r]

djokovic just went shopping at toys r us lol

[robertsr90]

soderling is an utter vagina

[grrrjames]

This does not look like a clay court match!

[mrSnakeeye20]

@grrrjames mcernoe calls it 21th centery clay tennis

[mousiehamster]

Supposedly Soderling had a tear in his groin. Still played in Nice though.

[conziborg2]

@mousiehamster There was something wrong, he left the court for like 10 minutes in the 2nd set

[kojiro99999]

Soderling should slice more. lol. Idk everytime i see him play, he never seems to be defending since he is SO far back on the baseline. Slice can be a pretty good tool for him to use.

[conziborg2]

@kojiro99999 I wouldnt have said his slice would be good enough to use alot

[kojiro99999]

@conziborg2 yeah.... i dont know why, but he seems to have decent grounstrokes. I love his forehand, it is so consistent! But i guess play against someone like Djokovic, who can do all sorts of things on the court, short shots, big backhand and forehand winners. drop shots. He's got everything!

[TennisCoachno1]

that 3-3 game was so crucial who knows if soderling could of broken it could of been a very different match as it was djokovic went onto win 9 straight games haha

[egghead268]

Sucks that soderling gave up cuz I don't like seeing that in a pro player but what can you do against a god-like player like djokovic!
