Arlen Kantarian Speed Quotations

With the speed and power of today's game, the time has come for tennis to benefit from new technology. This new breakthrough -- perhaps the most significant change to the game since the tiebreaker -- will improve line calls for players, while adding excitement and intrigue for fans and TV viewers.

With the speed and power of Monday's game, and with 150 mph serves and 100 mph backhands, we need an officiating aid.

Certainly what inspired this was the recent breakthrough in technology. We did not have the opportunity for an accurate and reliable system until this thing passed its testing in September of '05. Obviously what brought this on is the speed and power of today's game, as well. With regard to the Serena call at the U.S. Open we certainly feel that might have put us on a faster track. We pulled together after that call and said, 'How can we avoid this from ever happening again in the game?' Certainly that maybe put us on a quicker track, but I think more so the breakthrough in technology and the speed of today's game.

The human eye cannot keep up with that speed and power.
