Robin Soderling ends the year with the Paris Masters Cup championship title! That says a lot about what Robin can actually achieve next yearr, considering the field he was in, it just shows that Robin is definitely a contender for the Slams next year. He had to defeat Gael Monfils to win the title. Here is his path to the championship -
Finals - Gael Monfils (FRA) (#14) 6-1, 7-6
SF - Michael Llodra (FRA) (#34) 6-7 7-5 7-6
QF - Andy Roddick (USA) (#8) 7-5, 6-4
3R - Stanislas Wawrinka (SUI) (#27) 7-6, 6-3
2R - Gilles Simon (FRA) (#43) 6-4, 6-0
1R - BYE
Because of the luck of the draw, he did not have to meet Federer (who lost to Monfils in the SFs), Murray (who lost to Monfils in the QFs) and Djokovic (who lost to Llodra in the 3rd round) - the top 3 seeded players in this meet.
