Tennis - Robin Soderling, the only player to ever beat Rafael Nadal at the French Open, is returning to tennis - not as a player though, but as a Tournament Director. Soderling has been named as the Tournament Director for the If Stockholm ATP event, which is part of the fall swing after the US Open. Jonas Bjorkman has been holding the position for the past few years. Soderling has not played since July 2012 due to a severe bout of mononucleosis, which leaves him tired after playing for just 10-15 minutes. At a press conference to make the announcement, Soderling said he is not announcing his retirement from the game and hopes to come back some day. But he also added that he would come back only if he was fit enough to compete in Grand Slam events.
