Now back to business M!
Are you going to interview a chair umpire next?

My candidate:

Or may be this guy:

Now to follow up with your article, I am making a quote here:

.... I love Rod Laver Arena under a closed roof, but there is just something special about New York and Flushing Meadows and being on Arthur Ashe.

When will you come to the big apple? Make sure it's on the to do list.

I will let you and the readers and TF know at this point in time,after my interview with the lines umpire and it has received a great response from the officials at Apia International,I have made initial request to interview a Umpire at next years Apia International tournament to Glenn Toland.He advised me to put my request in early next year as there is much more red tape to follow than interviewing a lines umpire.
