SC, it could be the asterisks messing with your formatting as it reads them as bulletpoints.
BB: it wasn't the asterisks, it was the brackets I used, which I've now replaced with parentheses & that fixed the problem. Thanks for the suggestion. Stupid system!
You need to be consistent. You either provide CR as the best of singles or doubles for everyone or just doubles for everyone. You can't base CR using best of for one side and only doubles for their opponents.

As you say, to be consistent, Etchevery would be 32 based on his singles ranking.

Looking at the draw properly now, actually quite tough for the British pairs. Neal/christian and Julian/Lloyd didn't come out badly, Henry and Harri have a tough one, I think, and Luke + and Marcus/David, Joe/Rajeev have tough openers, for sure.
Henry and Harri worry me, feels like the hardcourts haven't gone well, they seem to have maybe gone off since winning Wimbledon and Henry seems to be distracted with stuff - maybe personal stuff - and looks like he is giving the Asian swing a miss after this.
No doubt they'll get it back in due course, but feels like the emotional pressures of getting to the top and winning Wimbledon have caught them up and they need a rest.

I showed it that way purely to reflect what the entry list said, something I've never done before & shan't ever do again. I've now amended it.
I see Jan Choinski is into the doubles draw with Dosnki (? New name to me) and play Mackenzie Macdonald and Martin Damm tonight
Donski. He's a decent enough doubles player, mostly on the Challenger circuit. His regular partner this year has been the Indian, Siddhant Banthia, with whom he played in the Umag ATP 250 in July - not very successfully: they lost in straight sets in the first round to Frantzen & Haase.
L64: Luke Johnson & Jan Zielinski (POL) CR 91 (47+44) vs (3) Marcelo Arévalo & Mate Pavic (ESA/CRO) CR 13 (6+7)
L64: Rajeev Ram (USA) & Joe Salisbury CR 138 (111+27) vs Santiago González & John-Patrick Smith (MEX/AUS) CR 142 (73+69)
L64: Arthur Fery & Joshua Paris UNR (0+99) (*) vs Camilo Ugo Carabelli & Tomás Martín Etcheverry (ARG/ARG) CR 296 (208+88)
(*) Arthur's singles ranking used for entry purposes
L64: (WC) Martin Damm & Mackenzie McDonald (USA/USA) CR 654 (356+298) vs (ALT) Jan Choinski & Alexander Donski (BUL) UNR (0+90)
thanks SC - i think using doubles rankings only in these types of posts, as you have always done, is the right thing to do - seedings are based on those and the players status as doubles players reflected in those. Even if the ATP choose to let our singles players gain entry with their singles rankings. Good stuff
