5 Robin Soderling (above) vs 15 Tomas Berdych - H2H: 5-3
Berdych won their last meeting fairly easily in Miami earlier this year, 62 62.
This is Berdych's 27th Slam and very 1st appearance in a semifinal.
He is 30-10 on the year and was runner-up to Roddick in Miami.
This is Robin's 2nd trip to a Slam semi following his run to the final last year.
He is 26-9 on the year including winning the title in Rotterdam.

2 Rafael Nadal vs 22 Jurgen Melzer - H2H: 2-0
And those two matches weren't even close.
Rafa is looking for his 5th final and title at Roland Garros. He is 36-1 at RG.
He has gone undefeated on clay in 2010 - 20-0.
This is Rafa's 12th Slam semifinal - he is 8-3 in this round.
This is Melzer's 32rd Slam & first time past the 3rd round (0-12 in 3rd R).
Jurgen is 25-12 on the year - his best showings were semis in Zagreb and Dubai.
He is ranked #27 and has a career high of #26. That will change big time.
