PARIS (AP) -- Rafael Nadal's unbeaten run at the French Open is over.

The four-time defending champion lost to Robin Soderling of Sweden 6-2, 6-7 (2), 6-4, 7-6 (2) Sunday in the fourth round, ending his record 31-match winning streak at Roland Garros.

Soderling, seeded 23rd at this year's tournament, ran Nadal ragged on center court with his hard serve and booming forehand.

Nadal has dominated the French Open since his first match on the red clay at Roland Garros. In his 31 previous matches, he had lost only seven sets -- the last one coming against Roger Federer in the 2007 final.

Defending women's champion Ana Ivanovic also lost, while top-seeded Dinara Safina advanced to the quarterfinals with another easy win.

Also on the men's side, No. 3 Andy Murray of Britain and No. 12 Fernando Gonzalez of Chile made the quarterfinals.

Nadal had won three of the last four major titles, missing out only on the U.S. Open. Because he won the Australian Open, he had been the only man with a chance to complete a Grand Slam.

He had also been trying to become the first man to win five straight French Open titles.


GOOOOOO SWEDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a great news for a former tennis powerhouse!

Congrats Belle....im not a Nadal fan in general......as u can understand!

Now Zlatan has won Serie A goal leauge. He's now the "capocannonieri". The best player in Italy and the world in my opinion! This the first time a Swedish player wins this title in over 50 years! Well done Zlatan!

In the North American professional icehockey leaugue, NHL, the "Swedish" team Detroit Red Wings won the first Stanley Cup final game against Pittsburgh Pengiuns.

Today as been a funny day for a Swede like me!

I hope that Roger Fededer wins the final because he was lost all the Roland Garros finals and with Nadal, and now that he is out are her GOLDEN OPORTUNITY and will be verry hurting for her lossing by unoknowing player

Well the best one should win. If Federer isn't the best in final then he don't deserves to win. A player don't deserves to win because it's sorry to him. And for me Söderling isn't unknown.

GOOOO ROBIN GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! You kicked Nadals ass from the French open. You can do it with Federer too(if he wins the semifinal)! Söderling for the VICTORY!!!

MAY THE BEST WIN, CONGRATS BELLE!

Okay it's Federer-Söderling in the final. Federer won his semifinal with 3-2 in sets.

GOOOOOO ROOOOOOOBIN!
