This man, Robin Soderling, has just performed the impossible, and beaten Rafael Nadal in the French Open.
To put this amazing achievement into context: Nadal has never been beaten at the tournament, winning it for the last four years in a row. He has never even been taken to five sets (and indeed still hasn’t). Since 2005 he has previously only lost two matches on clay. In this time he has won 115. He is absolutely untouchable.
He also destroyed Soderling only a month ago, beating him 6-1 6-0 at the Rome Masters.
Wow.
