Victoria Azarenka criticizes the crowd after defeating Polona Hercog, 7-6 6-3, at the China Open. "I would love people to be a bit more respectful and turn off their cell phones and just come and watch tennis and respect that players are doing their job," Azarenka told reporters.

RIGHT! I think this should be the standard from now on! Excessive grunting shall be met with excessive crowd noise, that'll learn 'em!

And I'm only half joking...

Is she serious? It would be a whole lot more respectful if she would stop her high pitched siren noise that seems to echo throughout the entire atmosphere. She needs to go and buy some self awareness,stat.

This makes perfect sense, the crowd isn't suppose to make noises when the players perform that's a universal rule that works for every athlete competing for the game regardless of what the athletes themselves do during the course of an exchange during the effort...

It's just like in athletics for example, the crowd might not be authorized to escalade the grills (fantasist example) whilst you might see an athlete do what is prohibited to the crowd thus escalade it - the athlete is perfectly in his/her right to complain if she sees somebody doing it regardless of his/her actions herself ; it's an aggression to his/her world in which the crowd has only been given indirect authorization to watch but certainly not intervene in an abusive manner.

The difference is that the crowd will generally make noises to disturb the procedures of a point whilst the athletes will because of the efforts they produce... both are noise one might say but both noise are perceived in different manners when in action by the brain : one normal because of the effort produced, the other is an aggression and this not only to the player that complains.

But the WTA players that scream can't just stop. I suggest that the WTA gets dog collars, and the players will slowly stop screaming>

Azarenka plays in the WTA...where almost 80 percent of player shriek lounder than the crowd put together. Lame Excuses....at least Nadal makes excuses that are respectable.
