Robin Bo Carl Söderling (Swedish pronunciation: born 14 August 1984 in Tibro) is a professional tennis player from Sweden who is currently ranked 6 in the ATP rankings.
Soderling is best known for reaching successive French Open finals in 2009 and 2010. In both tournaments, he defeated the defending champion en route to the final—Rafael Nadal in 2009 (becoming the first and, to date, only player to defeat Nadal at the French Open), and Roger Federer in 2010 (ending Federer's record streak of 23 consecutive Grand Slam semifinals).
He is coached by former French Open runner-up Magnus Norman, and is currently the only Swede in the top 300 in the ATP rankings.
