The Brother/Sister combo of Marat Safin and Dinara Safina defeated the French pair of Giles Simon and Alize Cornet to advance to the final of the 2009 Hopman Cup, where they will meet Dominika Cibulkova and Domonik Hrbaty of Slovakia. The Slovakia team defeated Germany after Nikolas Kiefer was forced to retire from the competition with a twisted ankle. His condition is unknown at this time. He was taken off the court on a stretcher to the local hospital where the extent of his injury will be determined. He hopes to be recovered in time to compete in the Australian Open.
The Safins came back from a 4-1 deficit in the first game of the doubles to win 6-4, and went on to win the match.
