The semi-final's going to be an interesting encounter:

SF:  (6) Dave Rice WR 421 vs (SE) Viktor Durasovic (NOR) WR 862 (CH = 833 in November last year)

Durasovic saw off the second seed, Yannick Jankovits (WR 322), by 2 & 2 in the QF & in a much closer match (2-6 6-4 6-0) in last week's final (when he was a wild card) to take the title, so a place for Dave in this week's final is not going to be hand to him on a plate...
