00:08like to have the line umpires on the court. I think it's part of our culture and tradition

00:16that has been there for decades. And I do understand that aspect of it. And it's hard

00:23to make certain changes and you don't want to give everything away to the technology, right?

00:28But if I have to choose between the two I'm more a proponent of technology. I would say that it's

00:36it's just more accurate, saves time and just maybe also less people on the court which at times is

00:42actually good if you're playing on a smaller court and there's been you know numerous times where

00:47players would collide with a line judge or line umpire and so forth. So you know maybe that's not

00:55the the most important reason. But I just think for accuracy and efficiency it's better it's better to

01:00have a technology.
