Kiefer.... hmmm... I don't know if this guy had any big achievements this year, but I remember him form US Open 2002 where he played a four hour nerve-racking marathon with Marat (BTW, I saw Marat for the first time then! *sigh* I'm getting sentimental LOL) Kiefer just made it to the finals in LA, i think he has made 2 or 3 finals this year. He is a good player, he is just a head case. *sigh* good news is if Marat makes it though the 1st round he should gain some confidence |

I think that Marat n Nalbandian will beat Erlich n Ram, cauz first off, they are both great players, n secondly, I've neva heard of Erlich n Ram...so hopefully that means that they aren't that good  |

Can you name more than 5 of the top 10 in doubles? Erlich is a very good doubles player and Ram is pretty good too, I'm suprised that they aren't ranked to be honest. I think they have already won a doubles title together this year..... *goes to atp website to look* ahhh nope they haven't won any this year together but they have been finalists in Chennai & Rotterdam and they just made the semifinals in LA. This is a good doubles team (they are ranked number 22 and 23 in doubles), if Marat and Nalby make it though them I'd be shocked. |

Kiefer just made it to the finals in LA, i think he has made 2 or 3 finals this year. He is a good player, he is just a head case. *sigh* good news is if Marat makes it though the 1st round he should gain some confidence Yeah Nicki, Kiefer has been to 3 finals this year and lost them all! All in the US BTW! And Jiat, yeah, he's a headcase like Marat I guess! So it'll be interesting to watch, I hope Marat will do fine!  |

Oh this sounds like a very interested match as far as I can remember Kiefer is a really good player but he suffered alot from injury in his career right? And as Nicki said he's also a bit of a headcase too! It should be a very interesting match, but have full confidence in Marat!!
Also in da doubles is that Ram guy the really good-looking guy who was in Marat's box at da match at the Aus Open?
