TENNIS in DEPTH.

World number one Rafael Nadal survived a huge scare against Robin Haase in round two as Wimbledon 2010 threw up yet another thrilling encounter.

The second seed twice had to come from behind before beating his 151st-ranked Dutch opponent 5-7 6-2 3-6 6-0 6-3.

Nadal was broken when serving to stay in the first set and, after rallying in the second, was stunned in the third.

But the Spaniard outclassed Haase from there on in to seal the match.

Robin Soderling is flying the Swedish flag alone in the men’s singles but looks capable of carrying on the country’s rich tradition of Wimbledon success.

His compatriot Bjorn Borg ranks among Wimbledon’s greatest champions and Stefan Edberg was a two-time winner, so Soderling has plenty to live up to.

On Thursday the sixth seed beat Spain’s Marcel Granollers 7-5 6-1 6-4 in the second round, and following his appearances in the last two French Open finals the 25-year-old is now emerging as a contender for grasscourt glory.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga had to dig deep to overcome rising star Alexandr Dolgopolov in a gruelling second-round clash at Wimbledon.

Ukrainian Dolgopolov fought back after slipping two sets behind only for Tsonga, the French 10th seed, to edge the decider and complete a 6-4 6-4 6-7 (5-7) 5-7 10-8 victory.

It was only 21-year-old Dolgopolov’s second Grand Slam event – he reached the third round at the French Open last month – and second professional tournament on grass.
