But he and other players are reportedly not too sure about travelling to Chennai. International security expert is about to arrive in chennai to see about the security in chennai.

"It is the duty of the ITF as an organising body to see that the visiting nations the best hospitality, best security. The responsibility also vest with the hosting nation to make sure that the visiting nations are comfortable," says AITA Vice-President and Executive Secretary General Anil Khanna.

There was an issue of pulling out of common wealth games from India by CEO of Australian Commonwealth Games Association Perry Crosswhite due to the security reasons but as of now he has changed the mind due to the security in Delhi.

"Quick discussions with both our High Commissioner and the Australian High Commission... and got some good information there. This morning (Wednesday) we had a presentation on security with the organising committee. The organisation and the commitment to it are very much there. Surely very pleased with what I have seen so far," says Crosswhite.

AITA is reminding everyone about the incident-free Chennai Open held earlier in the year and the India-England Chennai Test match.

Davis Cup has seen some of Indian tennis' best moments and Chennai in summers could be the perfect setting to script another treat.
