2010 French Open Men’s Semis

Rafael Nadal is back in the finals on the clay courts of the French Open.  Nadal,  who has lost only one match at Roland Garros in 5 years, will play against the man who gave him that loss only one year ago.  Nadal defeated Jurgen Melzer in straight sets to advance to the championship game without losing a set the entire tournament. 

Nadal’s opponent will be Robin Soderling, who defeated Tomas Berdych in a tough 5-set match.  Soderling already knocked out the No. 1 seed, Roger Federer in a rematch from last year’s final.  He will have to play even better to beat Nadal for the second straight year.
