Father-of-two Lleyton Hewitt has gone to ground in Europe as Tennis Australia and the ITF battle over where a May 8-10 Davis Cup Asian zonal tie should be staged in the terror-attack Indian city of Chennai.
Last November, up to 150 people died when Islamic extremists attacked luxury hotels and government building in what turned into a firefight.
India says the metropolis is perfectly safe, and the ITF agrees after conducting a security probe. But Tennis Australia is appealing that decision, asking for the tie to be played at a neutral venue.
Hewitt, 57th in the world, competed last week in Monte Carlo and is possibly waiting for a wildcard offer from Rome, which starts next Monday.
The tie halfway around the world falls in the middle of the clay season, with the 28-year-old Aussie having won a title on the surface this month in Houston and increasingly confident of his French Open hopes on the dirt.
