Last news, a farewell and thank you
4 January 2008
After more than five years of developing the soderling.net, it's a sad day for me to post the last post on the news page. Unfortunately I'm not able to maintain this site at the level it needs and will not update it any more. There are lots of reasons for that, mainly being:
- Overlapping duties, which prevent me from timely updates;
- The need of a complete redesign, which I don't have time to do. The current site is 100% html based and I did it for another site back in 1997. Now 10 years later it's completely out of date and needs to be redone from scratch. However I'm not able to put the effort needed to transfer the content onto a proper database.

The soderling.net domain is still owned by me and I can transfer it to any interested party for a small fee, along with the content (news, stats and images) and the Google's no.1 spot. The content is not in a database, but in static pages.

Have a great year everyone and please continue to support Robin (he's without dedicated website now, robin-soderling.skyrock.com is the closest he has).
I had a great time creating this site. Thank you!

Still out with the wrist injury
4 January 2008
Robin is still suffering from the left wrist injury, he got in the summer. He's out of the Australian Open and hopefully will rejoin the tour in the end of February.

Robin calls it a year
9 October 2007
Soderling still suffers from the wrist injury, which prevented him from playing the second half of the year. Although he's still avoiding surgery, he's unable to play and will not do so competitively for the rest of the season.
He'll lose 175 ranking points as a result and will likely go outside of the top 45 of the world in the beginning of the next season

Out of the Davis Cup team
17 September 2007
Robin was not announced as a member of the Swedish Davis Cup team in the home encounter with USA in Gothenburg.
His wrist injury is not healed yet and he wears a plaster on the left wrist. He paid a visit to a French doctor, who helped similar injuries of Mardy Fish (who was forced to surgery) and David Nalbandian. It was decided that the Swede does not require surgery for now.
Apart for being unable to play his double-handed backhand, Robin's game is on top level and he even won a set 7-5 off Pim-Pim Johansson at a training match. But a tour comeback without a descent backhand is not an option for Robin and he'll miss at least the Davis Cup.

Robin to sit out the US Open
22 August 2007
After missing the entire hardcourt summer, Robin will sit-out the US Open as well. The left wrist injury is still bothering him and he cannot hit his double-handed backhand.
"We have gone many doctors and nobody can give replies. It is nothing visible on the X-ray plates, so we do not know what that is wrong" Peter Carlsson tells for Swedish News Agency.
Apparently nothing has improved since the match with Safin two weeks ago.
Still Peter Carlsson did not ruled out a comeback on 21 September against USA in the Davis Cup.
On the schedule for Robin for the autumn are also the Thailand Open, the Stockholm Open and the two remaining Masters Series events.
