Since reaching the quarter-finals of the Australian Open in January, Nieminen has been in decline, losing 14 of his last 19 matches. His only career title came more than two years ago in Auckland and although he reached the last eight here two years ago before losing to Rafael Nadal, a repeat looks beyond the Finnish left-hander.
