New York, September 09: He may have defeated him 11 times out of 11, but Roger Federer will take nothing for granted when he takes on Robin Soderling in the US Open quarter-finals today.
His win streak against the Swede stretches back five years, but Federer says Soderling, a former top junior who has struggled to fulfill his potential on the senior stage, is a changed player this year.
“He has become mentally and physically stronger. And then he knows the game better today than he used to,” the top seed and defending champion said.
“These are already three amazing improvements. That’s what makes him a great player today.
