Found on article on the British Tennis Parents website about getting a world ranking. Gives an interesting insight into the lowly ranked player's first tentative steps on the rankings ladder:

Yes, that is interesting. The sort of information that is not easily available. I wonder why they changed to having to turn up on site and sign in to get into qualifying? It must be infuriating for any players having traveled some distance if they never even get into the qualifying.

There is a third article that I clearly remember, but it can't be searched through Google.
