Robin Soderling claimed his second big scalp at the ATP World Tour Finals as the Swede defeated reigning champion Novak Djokovic 7-6 (7/5), 6-1 yesterday to reach the semi-finals. Soderling is only competing in this prestigious season finale because of an injury to Andy Roddick, but his victory over Rafael Nadal in his opening match made it clear he is determined to take advantage of his good fortune. The 25-year-old, ranked ninth in the world, underlined the point by making Djokovic the latest victim of his impressive form this season. Soderling said: "I won two matches in straight sets against the world number two and number three. I couldn't have asked for anything more. "So far I'm enjoying it a lot. But there's still at least two more matches to go. I hope to do really well in those two, as well. "I will focus on my next match before the semis. Then I have to win two more matches against great players (to win the tournament)."
