Soderling looked really calm throughout the whole match. Has matured alot since a few years back.
He'll go into the final full of confidence.

fecking hell what shot that was.
Shot!
Del boy's hit about 95% of his shots to Fed's backhand so far, understandably. Looking good so far though.

That was simply fantastic. Proper impressed by how both of them managed to claw their way back from very dire straits to say the least, but all in all Soderling probably deserved it.
Massive chance for Del Potro, 0-40.
Del Boy breaks! Against the run of play if you like. 3-2.
Del Potty is bound to crack up at some point. Federer will win it.
Federer's going to lose again 
His once chance to win the French Open and he's going to blow it! Then again, Del Potro is the new Nadal.

Again?
Bit early to say that, he was 2 sets down the other day.
But yeah he's having a bit of a mare at the moment.

First set still Count Duckula, long way from over.
Del Potro takes the first set 6-3!
Federer's so shite nowadays, getting utterly outplayed by a twenty year old.

Del Potro too good, hitting right in the sweet spot.
@ Ducky.
@ Ducky.Yeah he's so shit. 20 consecutive grand slam semi finals. Rubbish.
Comparitively speaking. One Grand Slam out of five suggests he's not the force he used to be.
Trust me, I want him to win, but I don't think he will. Not sure he has it in him anymore.
Federer starting to find his serve now.
He has been in four finals though, and lost all but one to Nadal.
Del Potro has been immense. Unfair to discredit this performance so far.
I agree, he`s playing great.
Impossible to play against this! Don't see how Fed can break him to be honest.
Federer needs to nick this one somehow.
He won't come through if he goes down by two, I reckon.

Federer struggling in his own serve game here.
Never seen Del Potro serve this good before.
3-1 Federer in tie break. Nice ball.
C'mon Roger, prove me a cnut.
5-1 Federer is playing better now.
Get in, Federer takes the second.
Federer wasn't playing that bad, it was just that Del Potro was phenomenal!
Fantastic tie breaker there though.

All square.
Be interesting to see if Del Potro gets a bit jumpy now, or whether he'll keep going as he was.
