Nadal is in serious, serious trouble here. This is the worst I've ever seen him in terms of looking mentally and physically up to the challenge at Roland Garros. Normally when he's struggling he still has that spring about him; looks out of it tonight.

And there it goes, Soderling now up 2 sets to 1, 6-2, 6-7, 6-4.

I've never seen Nadal rattled before.

this is a cracking game at the moment. hopefully nadal is pushed even further in this set. would love to see him get knocked off.
Nadal served at 92% in the 3rd set compared to 65% i think it was from soderling, and soderling won the set. thats not good signs for nadal

Ivanovic is about to get knocked out. Lost the first set to Azarenka 6-2, and is down 4-2 in the second set

Nadal with an early break in the 4th ... I'd love to see him lose but I wouldn't bet on it.

some of the shots by soda have been amazing. nadal is being forced to play a different game that he is usually used to.

Soderling is playing some absurd clay court tennis here. He's got a brilliant opportunity.

Soda looks in control of the majority of the points. The game isnt being played on Nadals terms

Victoria Azarenka is from Belarus - 9th seed while Ana Ivanovic was 8th seed, so no upset really.

Soda has to break Nadal, I can't see him doing it in a tiebreak.
