Robin Soderling admits every match will be 'like a grand slam final' after sealing his place in the ATP World Tour finals in London next month.

The world No. 5, who reached the semi-finals at the O2 last year, was confirmed as the fifth player to qualify for the year-end championship. There are now three places remaining after Soderling joined Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray in the draw.

Despite falling in the quarter-finals of his home event in Stockholm this week, Soderling is guaranteed to finish in the world's top eight after the draws for next week's tournaments in Vienna, St Petersburg and Montpellier were published.

"I had some really good memories from last year," Soderling said. "Hopefully I can take that experience and do even better this time.

"There are only eight players and you play against the world's best so every match you play could be like a grand slam final. I will have to be ready from the first match."
