No. He chose to focus on practise instead, and to avoid some hype he has been up in Liverpool since the start of the week. He'll come down to London tomorrow on Saturday.

I predict a 3-1 victory to Soda. Then another victory against Andreas.

Robin appears pretty laid back right now. He says he's feeling confident, but is not getting ahead of himself, taking one match a time.

On the grass allegedly playing different now:

"The grass plays much faster than last year, but it was extremely slow then."

On Nadal pulling out, and the light it sheds on his victory over him in Paris:

"It has to be quite tough not being able to defend your title."

"I think he has always had troubles with his knees, and after all he only lost five games against Hewitt in the match before. My body hurt as well."

Apparently he has also caught a bit of a cold, but it's nothing too serious.

I´m afraid of Mullers serve, but Robin should win this tie for sure. On the other hand, Feliciano Lopez in the third round is an really tough one too.

Good luck Robin!

[swedes_rule]

ok, muller is playing REALLY well. robin is playing awesome and his stats are awesome and hes still down a set suddenly im not feeling so confident.

[Ilovetheblues_86]

I´m feeling confident, 6-7 7-5, now Soda need to continue playing well, Muller is gonna be probably one of the toughest matches on Wimbledon, just like Ferrer on RG, but he must play focused and he´ll won. Then against Granollers at round 2 things shoulg get easier. Kom igen.

[Ilovetheblues_86]

3-0 on third set, a strong effort by Soda.

[swedes_rule]

6-1 to Robin and suddenly im not so concerned anymore LOL

[SwedSerbia]

Well done Robin Looking forward to the match against Roger now

[swedes_rule]

dont look so far ahead - you'll freak me out! lol

excellent work by Robin though - was really concerned after the first set but great turn around. 6-7 7-5 6-1 6-2.

Nice first round win. He served well and it must feel great to have turned the match around after the first set. It shows how much stronger he has become mentally. I'm looking forward to the next round.
