Soderling’s future in doubt

An unfortunate year for Swedish tennis star Robin Soderling has been made somewhat worse after he confirmed that he will be unable to play in the upcoming Wimbledon championship and will also be unavailable for the London 2012 Olympics later this summer. Soderling has been out of action since July 2011 and has fallen from number four in the men’s world rankings to fifty six after he was taken by glandular fever last summer. Soderling had already announced he would not be available for the French Open this week, but further absences from the tennis circuit has come as a real blow to the twenty eight year old.

The immobilizing illness has caused significant damage to the Sede’s Thyroid and adrenal glands and has caused chronic fatigue which has stopped the Swede from training and competing. World number three Roger Federer battled with the illness at the start of 2008. But Soderling seems to have suffered a great deal more from the infliction. At twenty eight Solderling has plenty of years of tennis left and many expect him to climb up the rankings quickly following his recovery which would hopefully see him return for the start of next year’s grand slam season.

The two-time French Open runner up stated that although he has no plans to quit the sport, the illness has made it difficult to set a date to return to the game as once he has recovered he will need plenty of time to recapture both his form and will need plenty of experience before returning to the performance level required for major tournaments. Tennis start around the world have wished him a speedy recovery, but with his body unable to complete training, he is worried that it may be over a year before we see him return to the court.

SODERLING OUT FOR A WHILE

It has been a very long time since Robin Soderling, the Swede tennis ace was spotted in action on a court. The former world 4 is considered to be one of the nicest tennis stars in the world at this point of time, but sadly his illness has kept him out of action from the professional tennis circuit for quite a long time. The twenty-seven year old tennis ace was irritated by mononucleosis last summer and he is still fighting with the disease to be fit again.

Last year, he was on the highest point of his tennis career, reaching the 4th position in the ATP World Rankings in January but his long absence from the tennis courts has left him to number twenty-four by this point of time.
The Swede tennis player is well known for his lively game play and high liveliness in the match. His absence from the court is missed by a large fan base, but it looks like that he will stay aloof from the game for some time. In February, he was about to make his return but that was hampered by his persistent illness.

On his Facebook page, he wrote, “I was hoping to be ready for tournaments in February but unfortunately I am not there yet. The good news is that the symptoms of the mono like sore throat and fever are gone, but for some reason my body still cannot handle intense training, I get very tired when I do something physical. I am working with my medical team to understand why and what the next step is.”

His fans are really curious to know how long it will take to see him in a tennis court. A mere illness could not prevent a world class tennis pro like him to stay out of action for a long time.
