I think in these ITF tournaments we should just have their ITF ranks as using the ATP ones is a bit confusing in my view?
Entry is still being done by ATP ranking, just to make it that little more confusing. At the end of the day it is only the ATP/ WTA rankings that really count.

And the ITF is too bloody lazy to update its rankings on Mondays as the ATP does.
Initially I was kind of like Michael and thinking that it's still basically the ATP/WTA ones that really count hence quoting Barnaby and his opponent as UNR, though I still felt best to specify I was talking ATP rankings.
Though we only have currently 17 ATP ranked British singles men who can practically all be named so saves looking up rankings so much.
Quote both ATP and ITF rankings? I don't know and not looking to set rules but maybe an idea to have a kind of general convention?
And as wolf notes hardly helpful that the ITF profile pages just give players' ATP/WTA rankings in the ranking info, so far ignoring individual ITF rankings from the great new err ITF tour.

Both sets of rankings are shown on the acceptance lists, so probably the easiest place to start with, although they will still need looking up for current rankings.
Perhaps something like Lloyd GLASSPOOL (GBR) ATP 428 / ITF 138 (taken from Los Angeles M25 listing)
