Robin Söderling
Robin Bo Carl Söderling (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈrɔbɪn ˈsøːdəɭɪŋ]; born 14 August 1984 in Tibro) is a former professional tennis player from Sweden. He is a former world no. 4 in the ATP rankings, a career high he reached in November 2010. Söderling reached successive French Open finals in 2009 and 2010. He has also won one Masters 1000 event, the 2010 Paris Masters.
Söderling first came to prominence at the 2009 French Open, where he became the first player to defeat Rafael Nadal at the tournament, and the only one to achieve it until Novak Djokovic in 2015. Nadal had previously never lost at the tournament since his debut in 2005 and was the four-time defending champion. Söderling subsequently advanced to the final, defeating two-time semi-finalist Nikolay Davydenko in the quarter-finals and Fernando González in five sets in the semi-finals before being defeated by Roger Federer in the final. Söderling reached a second successive French Open final in 2010. He defeated Federer in the quarter-finals (ending Federer's record streak of 23 consecutive Grand Slam semifinals). Söderling won the semi-final in five sets against Tomáš Berdych before losing in straight sets to Rafael Nadal in the final.

Back It Up
by: Robin SI told you once, now tell you twice
I'm not gonna be a fool
'Cause when it comes down to my heart
It's not gonna be abused
Now I've been locked down and stepped on
And it's cold down on the floor
And I don't recall seeing your head
When I couldn't take anymore
(Back it up) Don't you tell me that your love is for real
You got to prove how you really feel
(Back it up) Don't you say you wanna be my man
I got to know that you understand
Hey, boy, you better back it up
Now I'm not tryin' to judge you
Your intentions might be fine
But the last time I trusted someone
All I could do was break down and cry
When it comes to heartache and pain
There'll be no deja-vu, back it up
And I don't recall seeing your head
When I couldn't take anymore
(Back it up) Don't need no-one to write a beat on my heart
I've got to know that this love's gonna start
(Back it up) Your hugs and kisses, they don't mean a thing
I've got to know that it's real love you bring
(Back it up) If you want some love give some in return
Don't just smile, you're gonna have to earn
(Back it up) I need someone to show me that they care
I need a man who will always be there
You better back it up
(Back it up)
When it comes to heartache and pain
There'll be no deja-vu
(Back it up) Don't you tell me that your love is for real
You got to prove how you really feel
(Back it up) Don't need no-one to write a beat on my heart
I've got to know that this love's gonna start
(Back it up) Your hugs and kisses, they don't mean a thing
I've got to know that it's real love you bring
(Back it up) Back it up, you
