Federer smartly saving his energy for the coming service games of his own.

Federer's most satisfying performance so far this season is the win in the final of Mutua Madrilena Madrid Open, where he tamed the Lion in his den.

With Federer making no mistakes in consolidating the lone break in the third set, all of Soderling's efforts are falling short of expectations.

His emotional meltdown in front of millions left the tennis world wondering whether he is capable of winning big matches at grand stages or not. But here he is with a two sets to love lead.

This may perhaps be the best chance for Soderling to capture a set and level the match. Tie-breaks have let the Swiss down in many matches this year. And with such record, Soderling can make an attempt to alter the scores.

The first major result from Soderling came in the name of David Ferrer, whom he defeated in four tough sets winning the battle with a 7-5, 5-7 6-2, 7-6 scoreline.

The result which put Soderling on the map was his upset win over Rafael Nadal. Once the four time defending champion was out, Soderling's next victim became the 10th seeded Russian Nikolay Davydenko, who could do little to stop the Swede's fantastic run. His come from behind win over Frenando Gonzalez proved his calibre at such a grand level.

With Soderling still struggling to get on board, Federer seems to have almost pocketed the first set.

Then came the match that left most ardent fans gasping whether Roger will be able to get past the 6'6'' tall Argentine wall called Juan Martin Del Potro.
