Soderling through

Robin Soderling, the 2009 runnerup, took just 71 minutes and surrendered a meager two games as he swept aside hapless American Taylor Dent on Wednesday to reach the French Open last 32.
The Swedish fifth seed, who famously handed Rafael Nadal a first career defeat here last year, beat Dent 6-0, 6-1, 6-1 and will next face Spain's Albert Montanes.
Like Soderling, men's eighth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was also in a hurry, taking just 89 minutes to clinch a 6-0, 6-1, 6-4 win over French compatriot and childhood friend Josselin Ouanna.
