Would ATP consider a Tennis Shot Clock?

I know there is a 20 or 22 seconds time before which you have to start the next point. Would it make sense for the ATP to have a shot clock display to be seen by both players? At least that would make them aware that they are not delaying to start the next point? just a thought.

A shot clock was considered and talked about a lot, but the new rules that they are trying out this season is that the player has 25 seconds when the chair umpire logs the point score on his PDA the end of a point to when the player begins his service motion.

Fans would start screaming as a visible clock ticked down. The discreet umpire only option is the right answer - as long as some independent timing doesn't show they are favoring the top players.
