Great chance here for the soviet player. Mikhail Kukushkin is a born Russian but now plays under the Kazakhstan flag and it will be interesting because of the fact that Misha Berrer is also a player that has Russian roots in his family history. These two have never met before and therefore this will be their first encounter. Kukushin is a defending champion from last year here when he played amazingly and most definitely tennis of his life, beating Youzhny in the finals who was far more superior in terms of atp ranking and it was a major shock that Kukushkin was able to reach his very first atp singles title. He will definitely have a tough job against Berrer and considering the fact that Berrer had a solid couple of tournaments and Kuku wasnt really on top of his game, it will be interesting to see whether the Kazakhi player can lift his game up and play on the level everyone expects him to do here, especially in these opening rounds of the tournament.
