One year later, Soderling played the role of giant killer again as he ousted world No. 1 and defending champion Roger Federer in the quarterfinals on Tuesday.

"I think that he's more solid from a mental perspective. He's won many matches, so he's capitalized with regards to confidence. He had a very good game level, but he lacked confidence. Now he has that confidence," Nadal talked about Soderling.

Nadal didn't want to imagine a possible final between him and Soderling. "I am in semifinals against Melzer. It will be a very difficult match. So I am focusing on that match right now."

But the second seed insisted that he had never thought about making revenge.

"When I go on court, I don't think if I lost last time is gonna be revenge. I never go by this way. I think if you think of that, you think this way, your mind is not 100 percent calm to think what you have to do."

The fifth seed Soderling will face Tomas Berdych from the Czech Republic in the other semifinal.
