   Points won by each set: | 26-14, 40-32 |
   Points won directly behind the serve:
   41 % Soderling – 24 of 58
   35 % Monfils – 19 of 54

   The biggest title in Soderling’s [5] career. The Swede played thrice against Monfils [14] and won all three encounters easily, that Parisian match was the last. Soderling grabbed five straight games in the opener, in the 2nd set they both were holding comfortably before the tie-break. “I always feel so good here in Paris,” said the two-time French Open runner-up. “I now have two favourite tournaments, it’s here and Roland Garros. I hope I can come back many times and play well.” He wouldn’t come back in 2011 because of the struggle with mononucleosis.

   Soderling’s route to his 6th title:
   2 Gilles Simon 6-4, 6-0
   3 Stanislas Wawrinka 7-6(3), 6-3
   Q Andy Roddick 7-5, 6-4
   S Michael Llodra 6-7(0), 7-5, 7-6(6) – 3 m.p. ☆
   W Gael Monfils 6-1, 7-6(1)

   ☆ Soderling trailed *4:5 (15/30) in the 2nd set, match points he saved at 5:6 in the 3rd set
