(I think that's a good draw in singles - a qualifier like Rhett needs all the singles points he can get - some other poor sod got the Chinese top seed in round one - now THAT'S a bum draw).

But he then gets a bum draw:

L32:  (Q) Rhett Purcell WR 1099 vs (Q) Cui Jie (CHN) WR 1295 (CH = 1269 last month)

Assuming he wins that one, it'll almost certainly be the Chinese top seed, Wu Di (WR 224), in the last 16.

 Rhett never even managed to get to the bad part of his draw.... :(

L32:  (Q) Rhett Purcell WR 1099 lost to (Q) Cui Jie (CHN) WR 1295  6-4  6-3
