Is Nick Kyrgios playing there by any chance ? I know there's a difference in age but I've heard (not completely reliably but not from an utter moron) that the two of them get on really well.
The US makes sense to me - so much more Dan's style in general, Brit players or not. Frankly, I bet there'll be quite a few 'new' friends now . . .

Any plans for Wardy or Evo to enter any ATP events?
I assume that Evo will play the three challengers in California. There isn't much scope for ATP events after that although there is talk that he might get a wild card for Stockholm, Moscow or Vienna all of which take place the week after the third California challenger. The week after is Basel and Valencia (both ATP 500s) where he could make qualifying. Personally I think the talk of ATP events is premature. He wants top 100 by the end of the year and the best way of doing that is to play 5-6 challengers. There will be plenty of time for ATP events next year.
As for Ward, on current form talk of ATP events seems silly. Aside from the Davis Cup win against Tursunov his highest scalp on the tour this year was Sugita WR 140.
Evo going back to the West coast of America makes plenty of sense, he has had loads of success there and I'm sure he'll have more. This is a complete guess, but I imagine he'll spend a few days at Bolletieri's in Sarasota before heading to Ca. I wouldn't be suprised if he gets a WC for for one of the ATP events in the weekk starting Oct 14th. I'm sure his new agent (Lagardere) can pull a few strings for him. Then there are three European indoor Challengers before the end of the season. If he maintains his recent form, it'll be an exciting time!
