I’ve never understood it at golf and tennis matches. Other sport’s athletes routinely make magnificent, precision plays amid deafening noise. Still, that is their culture and what they’re used to, so any deviation feels wrong. If they started encouraging cheering, chanting, and the like at kid’s tennis and golf events, then carried that change up with those kids as they grew up, eventually the pros wouldn’t bat an eye lash.
And we now see the miscreant escorted by security out of the stadium to be quickly and quietly thrashed and stuffed into a nearby rubbish bin for pickup on Monday.

Given some of the audience it might as well be a museum, and some of the players.

Let’s see what that tennis player with the big heavy tennis racket in his hand has to say about that. I see he is walking over here right now.

spectator sports seems to be redefining itself nowadays. however, worse than some noise from the audience in tennis are the screamers hitting the ball

Time and place, when the Theater started to allow snacks and drinks during a live play, that did it for me.

Well if he is too loud, the players won’t be able to hear them grunt and scream when they hit the ball.

Amen to that. Overpaid, self centred, egotistical, pampered brats.And that’s their good points.
