Final starts Sunday 3 pm local time, 1 pm GMT.
If you cannot have a Nadal vs Federer at the French Open, then surely in 2010 Nadal vs Soderling is the best of the best. Not only did the Swede bundle Rafa out of Roland Garros last year for his only ever loss at the event, he has shown he is in top form this year by humbling the great Roger Federer.
The outcome tomorrow is 50/50 to me. Rafa is 3-2 up in the head to head, with the losses coming in the last two meetings – Roland Garros last year and at the year end finals in London.
So what will it come down to? If Soderling can pound and expose Nadal’s forehand, and keep the points short he will be in for a fighting chance. If we get rain on Sunday as the forecasts predict, that will make the court heavier, suiting the Swede.
Finally though, I think this one will come down to nerves, endurance and sheer determination. Neither player is lacking on these counts, but surely the experience and intensity of Rafa could be the trump card. I pick Rafa in five, an epic blockbuster of a match. Get the popcorn, beer or champagne ready, we’re in for quite a ride!

Jurgen Melzer ATP Profile
Two unexpected encounters at the semifinals today in Roland Garros.
If all had run to form we would be seeing Federer against Murray and Nadal against Djokovic. Of the four, only Nadal managed to keep his date at the main table this year, and he should have a straight forward win over the Austrian veteran Jurgen Melzer.
Roger Federer was of course knocked out by Robin Soderling, who has just beaten Tomas Berdych to repeat his final appearance of last year.
I pick Nadal in three.

Second match of the day, sometime after 3pm local time, 1pm GMT.
Nicolas Almagro ATP Profile
Rafael Nadal beat Nicolas Almagro all of the last six times the two Spaniards met – but the King of Clay won’t be underestimating his compatriot.
Fresh in his mind will be the semifinal at the Madrid Open just a few weeks ago. Back then, Almagro was good enough to take the first set off Rafa, and his form at the French has been excellent. Just ask Fernando Verdasco who he knocked out in the last round.
Still, I think Nadal will be on fire tomorrow. The glimmer of a shot at a title without Federer in the way, and even better a chance to pay back Soderling for last year’s shock exit (assuming they both make it to the final) will motivate him. As will the chance to reclaim the ATP number one ranking from Federer if he wins the tournament again…
So I’ll put my neck out and say Rafa in three. VAMOS!

Rafa beat Hewitt in straight sets, and faces Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil on Monday.
The last (and only) time the pair met was two years ago, also at the French Open.
Back then Rafa won in straight sets and it is hard to imagine a different outcome today, even though Bellucci has been in excellent form, having beaten Ljubicic in straight sets in the last round
My pick , again is for Rafa to win in three – he is building up a head of steam and looking great for arriving in good knick for the quarter finals.

Having seen off Horazio Zeballos, Nadal plays his second match in two days against his old rival Lleyton Hewitt.
There was a time when the Aussie had a big winning head to head record over Rafa, but Nadal has won the last 4 matches between the two and pulled it back to lead 5-4.
On clay, the Spaniard should have few problems.
My pick is Rafa in three, just like last year at the same stage in Roland Garros.

Rafael Nadal starts today, third on the Suzanne Lenglen court, against Mina of France.
Nadal faces Gianni Mina, a French 18 year old, world ranked 653 - yes, you read that right, whose only hope will be youthful exuberance and a roaring home crowd. This will be a canter for Rafa, a warm up and a good chance to acclimatise to the courts, crowd and the great moment that is Roland Garros.
Mina should consider himself to have done well if he manages to take 3 or 4 games off the King of Clay.

UPDATE – Federer beat Luczak, 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 and will face Alejandro Falla of Colombia in the second round.
Roger Federer has his first round match on Monday at the French Open. Rafael Nadal starts on Tuesday – both have matches that could turn out more like practice sessions than professional tennis matches.
The young Polish born Peter Luczak is ranked 123 in the world and faces Federer for the very first time. And what a time and place to face that fire! At 30 years, it would be nothing short of a miracle for him to pull this off. I’ll pick that he will do well to pick up more than 4 games.
Nadal faces Gianni Mina, a French 18 year old, world ranked 653 - yes, you read that right, whose only hope will be youthful exuberance and a roaring home crowd. This will be a canter for Rafa, a warm up and a good chance to acclimatise to the courts, crowd and the great moment that is Roland Garros.
