Soderling ends Federer's semifinal streak at French

There will be a Grand Slam semifinal without Roger Federer for the first time in six years.
French Open upset specialist Robin Soderling struck again Tuesday, rallying past defending champion Federer in a rainy quarterfinal, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5, 6-4. That ended Federer’s record streak of reaching the semifinals in 23 consecutive major events.
The shocker was the second pulled off by Soderling in as many years at Roland Garros. He ended the reign of four-time champion Rafael Nadal in the fourth round a year ago, clearing the path for Federer to win his first French Open title and complete a career Grand Slam.

Indeed, Soderling played amazingly today. I hope Nadal will not win the title, because I don't want to see the Spaniard number 1 next monday. And Soderling has the weapons to beat Rafa in the final

Rafa won't reach the final game, Almagro will stop him today

[ish678]

I was gutted about Federer yesterday, that semi-final streak is amazing and it would have been brilliant if he could carry it on. Also, the number one record would have been great too.

I think Nadal will win the whole thing now - I don't think he'll fall to Soderling again. Unfortunately.

I'm really glad Joe Cole got the nod, I think he can bring something extra to the team. But it's a shame about Walcott, he should have been in IMO. Much better than SWP for me

Aussies beat Danish team by 1-0 and Ghana smashed by the Dutch 1-4 yesterday. Serbia will play today against the Polish team.

[cformula1]

Aussies beat Danish team by 1-0

Looking forward to the tournament, first match of the day (for group stage) is at 9:30PM so I'll be able to watch
And the finals are on during school holidays

[JoostLamers]

We really should play with vd Vaart - Sneijder - van Persie - Robben, and not with Kuijt, I hate him
