World No. 1 Rafael Nadal conquered archrival Robin Soderling of Sweden on Wednesday to grab a semifinal berth at the Wimbledon Championships on Wednesday.

The Spanish second seed Nadal lost the opening set 3-6 to the sixth seed, but managed to come from behind to take the victory 6-3, 7-6(7-4), 6-1.

Soderling became the one and only player to beat Nadal at Rolland Garros last year, ending Nadal's dream of five consecutive win at the Fren Open. But the king of clay took sweet revenge by defeating the big hitter in the final of this year's French Open.

Nadal, the 2008 Wimbledon champion is going to wait the winner between British top player Andy Murray and French ace Jo-Wifried Tsonga.
