Robin Rocks On

Ever wonder what happened to Bambi's mother? She was coated and glass and made into the Bastad trophy.

Robin Soderling got the honor of lifting the deer carcass by defeating Juan Monaco in the final of the Swedish Open, 6-3, 7-6(4). He is the first Swede to win a title in Sweden since Thomas Johansson won Stockholm in 2000.

With the win Soderling moved to a career high ranking of #11, and has a great chance of making it into the top ten once #10 Fernando Gonzalez's indefensible Olympic points fall off.

And it's a ranking he more than deserves. Though recently thought of as a fast, indoor court specialist, Soderling secured his first clay court title in Bastad on the heels of making the French Open final some weeks ago. Soderling has gone 15-0 since Madrid against players not named "Roger." If he can keep that up, he'll have a pretty nice year on his hands.
