Would it be completely out of the question to play this on grass or will mid-September be too late?

Grass probably Kyle's weakest surface, although probably the weakest for most Argentinians - with the exception of Del Potro.

With Kyle typically favouring surfaces similar to Argentians it will be interesting to see what happens. I think the standard slow indoor hard court will be put down again (seems we have the same slow hard court surface for all our home ties)

Indoor hard or carpet does look to be their weakest surface but you can provide this in most cities with 5 to 10 thousand seats. Agree though that Glasgow is fast becoming Indoor Central..
As regards grass in September, didn't we play the French last year at Queens? But why risk it.... Semi final after all and its fairly clear Andy and co can smell that Dcup trophy from the way they celebrated and the remarks made. The draw has been kind this year with France, US, Australia on the other side where we would have had to travel so we must capitalise, you never know with injuries if we'll be given a better chance to make another final.

I don't expect it to happen but we have played September ties as Wimbledon (court 1) in the past.

 Can't happen this year, as the redevelopment of Court 1 should be underway

I expect the tie to be in indoor hard, but not slow indoor hard. There have been good reasons for this set up in previous home ties. The France tie on grass at Queens was a QF in July with September much more problematic.

Hard rather than clearly not clay brings Evo into the equation even if Andy plays, assuming he has not burnt bridges in Serbia when there appears to have been more issues than his injury position.The relative form of Kyle vs Dan on hard courts in the coming couple of months could therefore be pretty important re who ends up playing singles.

Centre Court is relaid every year - I wouldn't be surprised if they have already dug it up

But it would certainly be a great setting.

Does anybody know the precise situation with Evo? There is nothing much in the news other than shoulder injury. Will he even be fit?
