Who’s going to benefit the most from the no-crowd situation?

[BrokenForehand]

Some players get distracted easily by the crowd, some don’t
Who do you think would benefit the most from the bubble setup?

 

[FRV3]

Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe Zverev will be less nervous because if he gets service yips there will be no one there gasping and he can rebound easier.

 

[Mainad]

Had to smile at Andy waving to a non-existent crowd after his match with Tiafoe. Guess old habits die hard.

 

[Sudacafan]

I watched today. It was a bit bizarre.
Well, watching paint dry is more exciting than a Goffin vs Coric match.

 

[guitarra]

I think the players who are most used to play competitive tennis with little to no crowd will relatively benefit the most. It's the players ranked out to the top50 who often play challengers.

Back in the day, it would be Lendl, hands down. But if we’re talking this summer at the Open, Djoker takes great pride in pissing off fans who root against him (watch any match when he plays RF), I would say he’s the leader in the clubhouse......

IIRC he trained himself into mishearing crowd support for Federer as crowd support for him

It's been so long. I forgot how fast these guys are! It would be great to see Murray do really well again.

 

[dahcovixx]

No crowd benefits the more talented player, players are able to focus without the ny drunks whistling on their toss.

 

[golden chicken]

I would say any of the more introverted types. Osaka, for example.

Am finding it extremely difficult to watch without crowd noise and seeing fans in the seats.
It is sort of depressing.

 

[125downthemiddle]

I don't think the crowds have as much impact either way as people think...

 

[PeoplesChamp]

Since crowds don't matter now, no credit for Djokovic overcoming those terrible NY & Wimby fans over the years...

was that meant as a response to me lol?

It's so good to have him back

 

[Harry_Wild]

Nick Kygios! He not playing until 2021 is what I am hearing!

 

[Backspin1183]

The underdogs will benefit the most with no crowd around.

 

[Backspin1183]

Rumour has it that Nick may not play tennis again. He's retiring in 2021.

...if a tree falls in the forest, and no one is there to witness....

 

[socallefty]

Probably the less emotional players who are stoic on court will be affected the least. The emotional guys draw positive and negative energy from the crowd and it might make their intensity go up and down more during a match.

I also think there will be more upsets without a crowd in the early rounds as lower ranked and unseeded players are less likely to get nervous when they are on the threshold of winning a close match - also, they are more used to playing in front of small crowds.

I do wonder how this will play for Djoker? Does it play a role? Because he seems to draw intensity off the crowd.

 

[Born_to_slice]

I think Novak might've finished his match last year if crowd was acting more normal. They hackled him hard when he was serving for the first set. Despicable really. So he may do well without the NY hostility. Then again, his spite can be a weapon too.

 

[TripleATeam]

There will be a small benefit to those that aren't used to crowds - lower ranked players, 50+.

 

[speedysteve]

Medvedev will certainly miss them.

I have no problem watching good tennis matches without crowds.
I'm here for the tennis, don't give a stuff about the circus or distraction.
Auto line calls, no lines people errors interrupting play [emoji106]

 

[ollinger]

people who ride the #7 train every day

 

[van_Loederen]

[TimHenmanATG]

Denis Shapovalov.

When he launched his rap "career", he surely must have already envisaged playing in empty stadiums.

 

[JaoSousa]

Same for basketball. Doncicś buzzer beater would have made the crowd go wild! Instead you hear the same commentator yelling Bang! Bang! into empty space.

 

[EllieK]

Djokovic and Medvedev.

 

[EllieK]

Truthfully, although he annoys the crap out of me at times, that would be a loss. So much wasted potential.

Look, just don't say stuff for the heck of it, okay? Put it to test. Paint a whole room and sit there in the middle watching it dry. And do not movie until it's completely dry. And then report back.

I dare you.

I prefer to do other thing. In South America we don’t watch paint dry when we try to get bored.
We watch races of snails.
We may also listen to chess matches on the radio.

I will be devastated.

 

[Backspin1183]

I will be devastated.

So will I. No Nick, no tennis.

Because he can do this

and this

or this

not to mention this

and that

plus

and then get away with this

and this

etc., etc.

It may not be fair

but Djoko benefits the most

 

[FRV3]

I was wrong. He needs to relax.

I don't miss crowds at all.

update…….tolja…...he literally pissed off himself so much that he got throw out of the Open!! Way to go Nole'
