Soderling *5-3 Berdych
Soderling holds Berdych up with a huge return, but the Czech comes through and makes Rockin Robin serve for it.

Soderling 5-2* Berdych
Berdych opts for a change of racquet, and gets to 15-30 but no further, Soderling making it three points in a row with the most delicious angled drop volley. Even Berdych nods his approval at that one. The crowd stir themselves to applaud. Maybe they're doing a sponsored silence...

Soderling *4-2 Berdych
What's this? Berdych, who was looking so comfortable, makes two awful errors off the backhand to give Soderling a hardly deserved break point. The forehand comes to Berdych's rescue, an excellent wrong-footer forcing Soderling into an error. But now another loose shot from Berdych and he hits his racquet in frustration. Things go from bad to worse as Berdych double-faults. Shocker for the Czech. By the way, as always, Mark Petchey and John Lloyd are itching to answer your questions in the BBC Red Button commentary box. Text 81111 or tweet me.

Soderling 3-2* Berdych
By contrast, Soderling isn't quite at the races yet. Berdych is winning a lot of the rallies, but Soderling's serve is keeping him out of trouble. Bit of a weird atmosphere - well, actually there is no atmosphere. Stadium half-full. Strange.

Soderling *2-2 Berdych
It might be his first Grand Slam semi-final, but Berdych isn't showing much sign of nerves so far. He's moving well, constructing some nice rallies. Impressive. The Czech is yet to drop a point on serve, finishing this game off with his 50th ace of the tournament.

Soderling 2-1* Berdych
Berdych finds a large chunk of baseline with a backhand return to win the first point of the day against serve. Soderling comes back with an ace but then Tommy B whips a splendid forehand right into the corner. Ha, another ace from Soderling, and on game point, he strolls up to a short ball and leathers it down the line - but misses it! Shocker. Deuce and a bit of hope for Berdych, but Soderling gets out of trouble.

Soderling *1-1 Berdych
Soderling's radar is a bit off as he belts several balls way over the baseline - and Berdych holds to love comfortably. "Not too much percentage tennis there," remarks John Lloyd on the BBC Red Button. "It's almost like they're getting the artillery ready, loosening up."

Soderling 1-0* Berdych
Super start for Soderling on a hushed Chatrier court. A hold to love.
* denotes next to serve

1209: Well maybe Tomas Berdych and Jurgen Melzer aren't so keen on a Soderling-Nadal final... Anyway, Soderling and Berdych have played eight times before, the Swede leading the head-to-head 5-3. However, Berdych won 6-2 6-2 in Miami earlier this year. It's 28C in Paris. It'll be a shorts day for BBC Sport's Piers Newbery, I reckon.
1200: Strolling out on to a sun-baked Chatrier come Robin Soderling and Tomas Berdych. Berdych, who has a massive forehand, is playing in his first Grand Slam semi-final at the 27th attempt. Soderling, who has a massive forehand, is in his second semi-final in a row at Roland Garros - and let's be honest, we all want to see a Nadal-Soderling repeat on Sunday, right?
