Australian qualifier Matthew Ebden earned a shot at World No 1 Rafael Nadal thanks to his 7-5, 6-3 win over India's Somdev Devvarman at Queen's yesterday.
Somdev is 101 places above Ebden in the ATP rankings.
Ebden, who was born in South Africa, has spent most of his short career playing on the unglamourous Futures Tour and is currently ranked 168th in the world.
But the 23-year-old will be mixing with tennis royalty in west London today when he takes on Nadal.
