(Robin Soderling is pictured above at Wimbledon 2009. Earlier in the year he performed superbly at the French Open to make it all the way through to the final, the results of which can be seen above. On his way to the final Robin ended Rafael Nadal's long winning streak at Roland Garros but the final against the sublime Swiss Roger Federer would prove to be one match too far.)
