QR1 David Rice v Greg Goodall Benjamin George Levi v Younes Rachidi (Mar) (9) Olivier White v Alberto Rodriguez-Cervantes (Esp) Philip Barlow v Rafael Camilo (Bra) (10) Alexander Farquharson v Oriol Hernandez-Pastor (Esp) Alexander Hutchins v Marco Sattanino (Ita)
Rice and Goodall due to meet the top seed in QR2...dam.
has Rice completely outgrown juniors now or is he just concentrating on futures now?
shame that a) he and goodall meet in qr1 and b) they then go onto meet the top seed. hopefully whichever of them gets through the first round(and I'll be surprised if it's not rice) manages to pull of the upset.

Rice took the 3rd seed in the main draw last week to 6-4 6-3, and I believe the man in question is 1st on this weeks entry list, so if Rice can stay consistent he may have a chance.
I like the fact he's playing in Spain a lot. Should toughen him up a bit!

QR2 Mounir El Aarej (Mar) (1) v David Rice Joao Sousa (Por) (15) v Alexander Farquharson
Disappointing results there from the youngsters especially Barlow and Levi. I quite like the look of this Farquharson. Get feeling he might start making his way up the rankings
David and his Spanish partner reached the semi-finals with a 2 and 3 win against the German/Russian pair of Holzinger and Sitak, but lost their semi-final 2 and 0 to Dimitrov and Poch-Gradin of Bulgaria and Spain, respectively. The four points David earned for this take him to a total of 34 and a projected new career high of 820.
