Really? Where in Edinburgh would be suitable for holding an indoor event?

The indoor courts at Meadowbank? - but the C of E Council are planning to demolish the complex soon.

I think the Braehead Arena is the only real suitable venue for the tournament in Scotland, even then, it's not a great facility.

I think they could possibly turn of of the venues getting built for the Commonwealth Games into an indoor tennis venue.  |

Inclusion of tennis in the Commonwealth Games is under consideration for this year's event in Dehli. If it is, and proves to be a success, it would presumably be included in the 2014 Games, so a suitable venue would need to be built anyway.

Hmm. Seems a bit harsh to make them do another major event so soon after the Wintet Olympics |

As I can't find any further info on this, it looks as though nothing has been decided.
