Tennis is probably one of if not the most mental sport in the world... As with golf, concentration is needed much more with these sports, considering they are individual sports, not team sports.
One lapse of concentration with one point in tennis can mean the different between winning and losing. In no way would screaming fans be beneficial with these sports.

How does it require more concentration than a batter trying to snipe a 90 mph fast ball, or a hockey player tipping a slap shot at a specific angle? Whether or not it's a team sport is irrelevant. The individual players still need to focus and one mistake can cost the team the game.

People have not liked my suggestion but nobody has attempted to give any reason as to why, until now. And just because "5-6 people" disagree with me doesn't mean I'm wrong.
And you're right I'm not a tennis fan. Your point?

Not being a fan of tennis automatically makes you not equipped to argue your illogical posts. Tennis and golf being individual sports is definitely relevant, you don't have teammates to pick you up after making a mistake. And those 5-6 people are arguing the same point as I am, that you are wrong.

"you are wrong" is hardly a point. And whether a sport is individual or not has no bearing on how easily a player is distracted, or the impact of the distraction on the outcome of the game. I already explained to you why that's the case.

You do realize when a hitter is swinging at a pitch, the majority of the time, it's pretty quiet in the ballpark right?

Tennis and golf have always been this way, it takes the utmost concentration and you can rely only on yourself, not a teammate. You can rely on teammates to pick you up after a mistake, I have already stated this to you. This is really not that hard of a point to understand that tennis and golf are gentlemen's sports and are classy. It's been like that since their origins.
