Robin Soderling is through to the quarter-finals of the Valencia Open 500Bet365 are streaming all of the action this week live from the Valencia Open 500Robin Soderling recorded his fiftieth victory of the season today with a straightforward 6-2, 6-3 win over Daniel Gimeno-Traver. Requiring little more than an hour, the Swede dominated the match and remained unbroken on his service games. Gimeno-Traver had the backing of the home crowd, but was ultimately unable to prevent the Soderling onslaught.
This means that Soderling will now compete in his thirteenth quarter-final of the season. Soderling has already qualified for the ATP World Tour Finals at the end of the season, but he’ll still be looking to get as much on-court time as possible this week. Soderling has struggled to make the last four in recent events, and he needs to show a little more cutting edge here to stand a chance of winning the Valencia Open 500 title.
Elsewhere, David Ferrer produced a solid 6-4, 6-1 victory over Russian qualifier Teymuraz Gabashvili. Ferrer is in the hunt for rankings points this week, and he’s currently on course to qualify for the Tour Finals in London. His chances have been boosted significantly by the early exits of Fernando Verdasco and Mikhail Youzhny here in Valencia.
