10/26/2008 - Lyon, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Seventh-seeded Robin Soderling needed three sets to defeat France's Julien Benneteau, 6-3, 6-7 (5-7 ), 6-1, in the final at the Lyon Tennis Grand Prix.
Soderling captured his second title in Lyon, as he also won the event in 2004. The 24-year-old Soderling earned $148,000 for his work at this year's tournament.
He defeated American and 2005 Lyon champion Andy Roddick on Friday and eliminated fourth-seeded Gilles Simon in three sets on Saturday to advance to the final.
Soderling, who competed in his fourth ATP indoor final this year, and Benneteau have split four meetings.
Benneteau, who registered three double faults, was just 1-for-4 when he had a chance to break Soderling's serve. Soderling, who converted 4-of-5 break-point chances, served up 10 aces to Benneteau's seven.
The 26-year-old Benneteau failed to win his first ATP title. He collected $80,000 as the runner-up in Lyon.
