SODERLING SET TO RETURN

Swedish number one Robin Soderling has confirmed that he will be returning to competitive tennis at the Rotterdam ATP World Tour tournament which is scheduled to take place mid-February. Soderling was forced to take time off from the tour when he was diagnosed with Mononucleosis (aka glandular fever) last year, and hasn’t competed since August 2011.

Soderling was playing some great tennis, and had risen to number 5 in the world before he contracted the illness, and has since dropped to 12^th position due to the lack of tournaments played. Glandular fever typically causes fatigue and swelling of the glands in the neck and can last several months. The tennis world will be glad to see the return of such a talented player, and hopefully he will be able to continue where he left off in 2011, and climb back up the rankings.

In the past two years, the Swedish player has gone from strength to strength, challenging for the top 4 positions, and holding 4^th place briefly in 2010 before finishing the season 5^th in the world. He started 2010 shakily, reaching a final and then losing two first round matches, including one in the Australian Open, to Marcel Granollers. He then went on to win a tournament in Rotterdam and make it to the final of the French Open, losing to Nadal, but beating Federer along the way. He also won in Paris, his biggest win at that point, and decided to split with coach Magnus Norman in December.

In 2011 Soderling paired up instead with Claudio Pistolesi, who helped him win the Brisbane International tournament early in the year, then go on to retain his Rotterdam title. Soderling also won in Marseille, before again swapping coaches to Fredrik Rosengren. A quarterfinal appearance in the French Open followed, losing to Nadal, and the Swede bagged his fourth and final title of the year at the Swedish Open. At this point he became ill, and had to start his current period of recovery, but everyone will be hoping he comes back with the same momentum and winning spirit he had and it will be great to see how he continues to develop in the coming season.

Soderling to miss the Australian Open

The 13^th ranked tennis player in the world Robin Soderling has become the first casualty of the Australian Open, where he will not be able to compete due to illness. The Swedish tennis player, who has reached the finals of the French Open on two occasions, losing both times, one to Roger Federer and again to Rafael Nadal has said that he has decided to withdraw from the first Grand Slam of the year as he wants to fully recover from the illness and does not want to put the entire season in jeopardy by competing while not fully fit.

The Swede has not played a professional tennis match since July last year when he appeared in Bastad, a tournament that he won as he has been suffering from mononucleosis, a kind of viral infection. Soderling posted in his Twitter account that his recovery is taking more than he and his physicians expected and although he is feeling better with each passing day, it would still take him a few days to regain full fitness and start training.

Robin Soderling also said that he wanted to start practice fully fledged in January and wants to make a return to the professional circuit in February but also added that he is not sure when and where that comeback would happen. He further added that he was hopeful that his body would enable him to make his desired comeback in February.

The Swedish star, who was ranked fourth in the world reached the fourth round of the 2011 Australian Open, the first time that he crossed the barrier of the second round and he stated that mentally he was ready to do better. But unfortunately for Robin Soderling, he will have to wait another before he can do what he wants to do.
