5 biggest upsets in French Open history

Robin Soderling beats Roger Federer, 2010

A year on from beating Nadal, Soderling also defeated the seemingly unbeatable Roger Federer

Swedish ace Robin Soderling had already risen to prominence before 2010, and at precisely the same tournament.

The following year, Soderling again played a blinder. The Swede that year had the best year of his tennis career, reaching a highest 4^th ranking. He would also replicate the success he had at the previous year’s French Open – and two years in a row, pulled off shock upsets and slaying giants.

This time, Soderling’s victim was reigning champion Roger Federer. The Swedish ace had already defeated Federer that year – after being a set and a break down. He would win that match 3-6, 6-3, 7-5, 6-4.
