I am pleased to announce our newest correspondent Fashionista, will be conducting an interview with a linesperson at the Apia International tournament in Sydney. :clap

Tennis Frontier is very excited to be granted this opportunity. If you would like to submit a question for the linesperson, please add them in this thread...

We will be collecting questions through Sunday, January 11.

This is awesome!

My question:

What is personally the best match you've been apart of as a linesperson?

Is it acutally possible to enjoy watching a match when you are burdened with doing the
job of a linesperson?

Thanks for the questions,keep them coming.I will be given a de-brief from Mr Glen Toland,who is in charge of officials at the Apia International,on what questions I can and can't ask.Mr Glen Toland has already picked out a linesperson for me to interview,I will have to wait around for the linesperson to complete his/her on court duties.
