If the audience and spectators were allowed to yell, jeer and heckle the players during serves and games, which players do you think will benefit from this type of environment?

[Deathless Mortal]

Tsonga, Monfils, Baghdatis, Stepanek

Give the umpire a whistle, that would solve the problem :lol:

 

[Sauletekis]

Tsonga, Monfils, Baghdatis, Stepanek

I agree. Also Nole, maybe.

 

[Deathless Mortal]

I agree. Also Nole, maybe.

Of the top 4 I would imagine only Nole being cool with it.

 

[tangerine_dream]

I agree. Also Nole, maybe.

Really? Nole has a history of getting angry at crowds and photographers for being too loud and disrupting his ball bouncing.

This...sf against Fedmug at USO proves it.

Didn't he get a fan kicked out a few years ago against Roger in Rome (I think) because he shouted out in between serves too?

Yes, Nole gets affacted bad with loud crowd against him or for him. Us open was only time when crowd actully pissed him off, then carried him to victory.

Not Nole, no.

You can see that some of the guys really relish the loud, davis cup type atmospheres. Hewitt, Roddick, Baghdatis, Gonzalez and Monfils all come to mind but I'm probably missing quite a few.

 

[dodo]

Tsonga, Monfils, Baghdatis, Stepanek

Yes, these guys would enjoy it.
Isner and Roddick would probably not be bothered.

I agree. Also Nole, maybe.

According to Djokotards it was the "cheating French crowd" that did him in at RG...

 

[LleytonMonfils]

Andy Murray wouldn't know what to do

Nole would melt like butter in a microwave

 

[StevoTG]

Wonder if Wawrinka would thrive in the environment. He beat Tsonga at the French last year (from 0-2 down), Hewitt in Australia (from 1-2 down) and Baghdatis in Melbourne. Didn't see the Tsonga match, but the Baghdatis match was played in a noisy environment.

 

[VolandriFan]

Feña used to thrive off those environments, but there were some exceptions.

 

[Kat_YYZ]

actually I think a fair amount of players would adjust after a while. Especially if the crowd is constantly noisy. It becomes a kind of background noise that you can tune out. It's worse when someone makes a sudden noise that unexpectedly breaks the silence. A constant 'hum' or drone you could get used to.

 

[Sham Kay Adams]

Andy Murray wouldn't know what to do

Pfft. The voices in Murray's head would completely drown out even the loudest of Parisian crowds.

 

[azure]

Defensive players, as their less likely to miss their shots. Someone who goes big near the line might shank it if he's distracted by the crowd.

 

[Thunderfish8]

roddick, baghdatis, monfils
