Soderling looks well set to secure a place in his second consecutive French Open final, but won’t want to underestimate an opponent who has impressed in reaching his first grand slam semifinal.
Soderling vs. Berdych Betting Trends
Robin Soderling and Tomas Berdych have had ferquent run-ins with one another over the years, meeting eight times. Soderling has dominated these matches, beating Berdych five times, while Berdych has scored three victories of his own. These two players have met twice on clay, with each claiming a win on the surface.
The last meeting between the two at the 2010 Miami Masters took place on hard courts, and produced a straight sets win for Berdych.
Robin Soderling has been a force to be reckoned with at the 2010 French Open. The Swede reached the semifinals by knocking out Roger Federer, avenging his defeat in the 2009 French Open final. Soderling’s win rate this year is standing at 70%, and he seems to be growing in confidence in every match.
Tomas Berdych is evenly matched with Soderling. The Czech’s win rate is just over the 70% mark, and his physical stature matches that of his opponent. He’s had a slightly easier route to the semifinal, however; eliminating a string of lower-seeded players.
Soderling vs. Berdych Betting Tips
Robin Soderling is the favourite to beat Berdych in this 2010 French Open semifinal, trading at a best price of 1/2 at Betfair. Betfair also has the best odds on Berdych at 19/10.
Going on form, Soderling should take this match. However, it is clear that the overall pedigree of both players is similar, and that a Soderling win is by no means a foregone conclusion. Expect both players to battle it out in this match, and a 4 or 5 set affair.
Boylesports is paying 9/5 on a 4 set match and 5/2 on a 5 set encounter. We’d place equal stakes bets on each of these markets to put ourselves in line for a payout if the match goes beyond 3 sets – irrespective of which player wins.
