@Rancid-Schnitzel
29 finals and 4 or 5 losses to Nadal. He'd have 4 French opens and have won I think 10 straight majors.But I agree that his legacy would be the poorer for not having the rivalry with Nadal, I think it strengthens both of them.

I see there's outcry about some foreigner "screeching" during play against Australia's top ranked woman Ashleigh Barty .
I don't know much about tennis etiquette although I recall this debate surrounding Seles years ago. Or is this more a hometown issue?

anything that drowns out those absolute spastics the "fanatics" i am totally on board with

yea, someone is calling out the fuckheads. you're idiots
And that guy in the white is a complete douchebag. Youtube is fucking up the world. I just read an article on it, he carries on like he's some sort of hero for that. Jesus what i wouldn't have given for someone to give him a hiding.

@jk I must attend sports with very different spectators. Most of the (middle aged) people I know would have grabbed his phone and broken it. He'd be lucky if they stopped there.
In an era of identity politics, it's surprising to me that people no longer seem to be punished for stepping outside of what is accepted as socially acceptable behaviour.

Maybe nick the rugby tenet, respect the kicker, respect the server. Once the ball's in play it's all on
I reckon this would be pretty good!
I think they are supposed to be quiet so they can here the calls of the umpire. May need to give them a whisle and a microphone

What Rugby tenet? If I've paid to be in the crowd, I'm entitled to offer advice to kickers before they kick. They can deal with it, it's why we go to live sport

Did anyone watch the Fett v Wozniacki match? It turned around on the back of the second of two disputed umpire calls against Wozniacki, regarding the timing of a player audibly challenging a call. She went from being passive to angry and bounced her racquet - but then played her best tennis from 1-5 and 15-40 down in the deciding set. She won 7-5.
Amongst other things, spectator quiet is a courtesy to players and officials, so that calls and challenges can be heard easily.
I hope the moron that disrupted the Kyrgios match gets convicted of public nuisance or similar. There are tens of thousands of dollars on the line for top players in each match like this.

Yeah, I think it's a NH thing that is tryign to be pushed here. If people stump up cash and attend a live rugby game, I'm happy for them to support their team, boo the other team, yell at the refs and generally have a good time.
Respect the kicker? Stuff that!

Yeah it does my nut whenever commentators start thrashing their chubby over how quiet the Munster crowd is during kicks.
But say nothing when they scream over every line out and and try to put off the catcher for every up and under. Its a distraction tactic just a different one.
Do what you want you payed your money, but keep the fuck off the field, and applaud politely if he makes the kick, don't be a fucking cry baby about it.
