Well this is a match between two excellent servers but I think that Nieminen is much better player than his today opponent.But both players hasn't been playing good lately so this could be a tricky match.

Jarrko is one of my favoured players because I simply love to watch him but when i am not betting on him.He always like to dominate in the match, this left handed Fin on a good day can beat anyone.He moves well considering his hight and his ground strokes has such a power.But he has lots of potential and he still has to learn to play tactically and not always for direct point.With this game he often makes plenty unforced errors and that's him worst characteristic.He also has a great fighting spirit and he never give up.This surface is everything that he was needed to make a good result here.

Kiefer is slowly but safely aproaching towards the end of his career and his best years in tennis has past a long ago.His speed has drastically dropped and knowing how Nieminen likes to dictate tempo in the match I can't see him catching that fast balls.I don't think that he will have many chances playing with gifted Fin.

But because this is the opening match in the tournament I am not so sure how Nieminen will play.So be safe with this bet.
