Taip statyt pries Soderlinga po Roland Garros pasirodymo atrodytu savizudybe. Taciau bandom biski kitaip, daug realesni varianta. Kad almagro laimes bent viena seta. Soderlingas siemet be RG nuveike beveik nieko. Jam labiau tinka greitos dangos, kur jo pagrindinis ginklas stiprus servas bei milziniskas forehand, taip soderlingas tai turi, bet jis niekada nebuvo puikus claycourteris. Priesingai Soderlingui, Almagras kaip ir ispanams pridera yra amzinas gruntininkas, jo rezultatai visos karjeros metus patys kalbantys uz save. Jis zaidzia daug ir stabiliai. Pirmame matche iveiktas safinas, antrame po pralaimeto seto padarytas puikus comebackas pries Starace. Visai nesenai almagro buvo susitikes su soderling wimbeldone ant zoles, kur atrodytu visas pranasumas turetu buti tik soderling rankose, taip soderlingas laimejo 3-0 bet ta pergale nebuvo jau tokia uztikrinta 7-6 6-4 6-4. Taigi nenoriu cia labai plestis bet manau almagro yra pajegus atimti bent viena seta is soderling o gal ir laimeti

One 3.0+ bet went in (luckily for you, unfortunate for me, as I personally took it in pinnacle with 2-sets completed rule). Why not try for the 2nd time ?
Even though I am rating Soderling as a favourite here - I doubt that he is as big favourite as the odds show. What are the advantages of Soderling ? Most probably his Roland Garros final run, which was two months ago. Maybe home advantage. But is it enough ? Roland Garros final didn't make a claycourter out of Soderling. He is still the guy who has devastating baseline shots and serve, but lacks regularity. Of course - with a magic run it is also a fantastic weapon on clay. But to a smaller extent that one might think. Home advantage ? Usually Soderling reaches QFs in Bastad and loses to the claycourter - Ferrer, Moya, Calleri - those who also like to dominate the rallies like Almagro does. Maybe that Roland Garros final has put Robin on a higher level. I don't know that. After RG he played only in Wimbledon and Bastad. In Wimbledon he won three matches as a 1.10 fav and in Bastad he won with Vliegen (who is not a worldbeater nor claycourter to be sincere) as a 1.20 fav. He lost to a 1.10 fav Federer in Wimbledon. There is completely nothing to read from it. We would have to wait a bit more to see if Soderling gained so much consistency to consider him as such an overhelming favourite.
Especially that Almagro is not a pushover. Yes - he is having a mediocre season so far. On title, some defeats as the big favourite. Not too much, but clay is Almagro's surface and he proved that in the past seasons. His claycourt heroics took him close to Top10 last year, so we could
