Yeah i agree he was pretty poor...

But at the end of the day he must have felt the pressure of Nadal going home early... And the clay was playing awful for pretty much everyone but soderling it seemed. He got the job done while out of form, cant ask more than that from him!.. But he has looked more convicing on the grass than any1 else i have watched so far this week.. Early days i know, but still.
