Looking at the top 8 seeds, Brisbane offers some testing opponents with the prospect of good matches for the fans to enjoy and strikes me as an ideal way for Roger to kick off the 2014 season.

 Btw I've just read that Roger will play single and doubles partnering Nicolas Mahut. Very interesting. Perhaps he just want to get as much matches under his belt with a new racket as possible.

[Wendy_redRobin]

Doubles with Nicolas MAHUT, with their first match against the top seeds, Jean-Julien ROJER and Horia TECAU. It will be interesting indeed. If nothing else it will give Roger and Nicolas some match practice. Good to see Roger partnering other players like this too

[sausan]

Have a good start Roger!!!
