I see this Aussie 25K has generally quite a bit higher seeds than the earlier 25Ks that Mel and Cav were playing and indeed last week, attracting Alicia Molik and others.
Cav was getting seeded 2 & 3 with a ranking around what the 8th seed has here ( ranked 225 ) and the 8th seed in earlier tournaments was ranked 350 and more.
I guess less choice at this time of the year.

Glad to see Mel getting revenge over the Israeli. Whether Glushko was tired after week or not, it's good to see Mel navigating a tricky opponent seemingly comfortably.
