PARIS, May 28 (Reuters) - Robin Soderling showed he was once again a force to be reckoned with at the French Open when he ruthlessly dismissed Argentine Leonardo Mayer 6-1 6-4 6-3 to reach the fourth round on Saturday.
The fifth-seeded Swede, a Roland Garros runner-up for the last two years, had his ring finger taped during the second set but it did not seem to bother him.
Soderling again relied on his heavy forehand to overpower Mayer, who bowed out on yet another service winner.
Next up for Soderling will be local favourite and 18th seed Gilles Simon, who beat 10th seed Mardy Fish, the last American in the draw, 6-3 6-4 6-2.
