Soderling Disappointment - Top seed and home favourite Robin Soderling was one win away from defending his Bastad title. He dropped to a 5-10 mark in tour-level finals, including a 1-3 record on the season. Robredo Denied Hat Trick - Fifth-seeded Spaniard Tommy Robredo, who won the Bastad title in 2006 (d. Davydenko) and 2008 (d. Berdych), was ousted in the semi-finals by countryman Nicolas Almagro. Lindstedt Delight - Swede Robert Lindstedt won his hometown doubles title with Horia Tecau. “I’m lacking words to describe this. I can honestly say that nobody wants to win this tournament more than me.”
