Come on didine, you can improve.

If there was a way to know this, constantly to monitor and update - then I would agree with you didine. As it stands, I am not sure we can execute something like that. Don't see how. Do we let players announce their ELO before tournament joining? ...what happens if it changes before the start?

and by the way, no ideas are stupid. Just some are easy to do and others not, some popular and others not. But don't ever be afraid to voice your ideas!

I thought about this a lot of times when I used to play Futures and Challengers. A lot of time I played against players who had lower ranking than me and I thought I was gonna be the favourite but then they turned out to be "future-pros" with 1900 or 2000 ELO and the gave me 6-1 6-1 like popcorn
But, as djarvik says, unfortunately there is no way to know what the player ELO is before the tournament and, plus, it could change from the time he signs up to the time tournament starts. So I think that things like that could always happen, just like in real tennis when some Kokkinakis or Kyrgios come along, you just have to deal with it and hoping that someone else will face them as long as they are still "fake" noobs.
