Semi final day for the mens' singles draw saw the two highest remaining seeds progress
through to the final, although Sweden's Robin Soderling was given the fright of his life by
15th seeded Czech Tomas Berdych.
Everything looked to be going to plan when Soderling took the first set 6-3, but Berdych
was a harder player to break in the second set. Instead it was the Czech who made the
breakthrough in the 8th game, defeating Soderling's serve and then serving out the set to
put the match back on level terms.
The third set was an arm-wrestle, both players working desperately to achieve the break.
When it finally came in the 12th game, the set went to Berdych 7-5 and the chance of an
upset was scented. But Soderling lifted, taking the 4th and 5th sets 6-3 and after a
marathon match he was through to the final.
Such a long match was a contrast to the other semi, where Rafael Nadal was untroubled by
Jurgen Melzer and had an easy straight-sets victory to move through to the final.
The first silverware for the tournament was awarded. The womens' doubles was taken out
by the Williams sisters, who won in straight sets against Kveta Peschke and Katarina
Srebotnik.
