During a podcast where he spoke at length about his career. The Swedish Robin Soderling returned to his duels against Roger Federer, especially at Roland-Garros.
Winner of Rafael Nadal in 2009 when the Spaniard suffered a knee injury, the Swede remembers his performance the following year in the quarter-finals against Switzerland. Logical, it is his only victory in 17 duels against Roger: “It was probably my best match at Roland Garros. I think I played very well against Rafa in 2009, but I think I played even better against Roger the following year “explained the Swede who, on the other hand, has real regret about his final in 2009:” Everything happened too fast for me. I approached this event badly. Opposite, Roger was calm, he was much more experienced, he took his time, put his game quietly. Either way, Roger has always been the most difficult opponent to face. Rarely have I felt good about him. It makes you uncomfortable on the court. His fast play was not suited to my long swings, especially in forehand ”
