   The biggest title in Soderling’s [5] career. The Swede played three times against Monfils [14] and won all three easily, that match was the last. Soderling won 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.”

   Soderling’s route to his 6th title (5th Masters):
   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
