New York - Robin Soderling advanced to the round of 16 at the US Open with a 6-2, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Thiemo de Bakker of the Netherlands.

The fifth-seeded Soderling, twice a runner-up at the French Open, needed only 1 hour 42 minutes at a blustery Flushing Meadows on Saturday to defeat the 48th-ranked de Bakker.

After struggling through a five-setter in his opening round, Soderling has only dropped 16 games in his next two matches.

Soderling will now play 21st seed Albert Montanes of Spain, who advanced when Japan's Kei Nishikori pulled out early in the second set of their match because of a groin injury.
