Very good article, well done fashionista! :clap

I like the way they're called "line umpires" too, that's a new one for me. Comprehensive stuff, fascinating detail from the inside. Well done to our team, the best forum team on the web!

Actually 'line umpire' is the official name according to the ITF when I started doing my initial research.
In the interview,when I was asking questions,Troy always said 'line umpire'...
