Swedish ace Robin Soderling began his charge for the Valencia Open 500 title with a confident victory over Albert MontanesYou can watch ATP World matches live for free at bet365>live streaming>tennisRobin Soderling wasted no time on Tuesday, beating his Spanish opponent Albert Montanes 6-1, 6-4 in a mere sixty-six minutes. This is Soderling’s first appearance at the Valencia Open, but he seems to have settled into the new surroundings with ease.
Soderling has reached the quarter-finals in his five most recent ATP World Tour tournaments, but has struggled of late to progress to the latter stages. He’ll be hoping that he can make a serious challenge for the Valencia Open this week, and pick up some much needed momentum in time for the ATP World Tour Finals at the end of the month.
The Swede now has a 49-19 record this season on the tour, and this has been yet another impressive season for him. His runner-up finish at Roland Garros this season made it clear that his performance last year was no fluke, and he was the fifth person to qualify for the tour finals. He faces the world number 59, Daniel Gimeno-Traver, in the next round here in Valencia.
