This has worked out as a good scheduling decision from Dave. He has played 3 unranked players and the WR 521 and gets 10 ranking points for it. Unfortunately he should play Gilles Muller next

Müller it is. cry  Beat Teixeira in three & just over 2½ hours.

L16:  (1) Gilles Müller (LUX) WR 53 vs (Q) David Rice WR 593 bleh

Daniel in the lion's den! evileye  There's something inherently unjust about a system that can unleash the world number 53 on a player ranked in the 500s! disbelief

Or (while I take your point, Stircrazy), you could say that there's something rather lovely about a system which gives a player ranked 593 the opportunity to play someone who a week ago was battling it out with Lleyton Hewitt on a televised court at the US Open .....

 I would've thought David v Goliath more apt. wink

If he just goes out and plays without thinking about the disparity in their rankings, he should be fine. The difficulties can come if you have time to muller over the situation.

I wouldn't take Muller lightly though either.
