SODERLING BEAT RAFAEL NADAL ONCE AGAIN

Soderling, who ended Nadal's 31-match winning streak at the French Open this year, denied Nadal of getting 400 wins as a professional. Swedish Robin Soderling beat Nadal 6-4, 6-4 in the first Group B match of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, taking place at the O2 Arena, in southeast London. Nadal struggled to handle the powerful Soderling forehand on the faster indoor surface at the O2 arena and looked vulnerable on serve throughout.

Soderling, who has never won a third round match in a major before beating Nadal, faces 10th seed Nikolay Davydenko in the next round.
