This by far the loudest I have ever heard the crowd cheer for 1 player on the center court even more then AA

People are cheering when Novak misses a first serve. That's bad

While I am on Djok, and my heart told me Feds...... I think it is absolutely classless to cheer when Djoke faults. SMH. And yes, I know it's in NYC. I'm from there too.

crowds cheer for 1st serve faults all the time when they're behind a certain player... usually the home player and typically they're big points... but it could be argued that every point is big in this one considering it is a grand slam final
crowds like this are what make good games great

Horrible umpire who doesn't take control of the crowd.

The reality is you respect the game and don't cheer when someone faults. You would never see a player rooting when their opponent misses their 1st serve. It's like cheering on a double fault on match point . As a former (non pro)player, I wanted to finish it out. Not win on ones mistake. When I played with friends we made it a rule. It's a game.

no, actually the reality is that people are going to cheer for every positive that THEIR Player encounters. ESPECIALLY when their player is an underdog. it's part of the game.. look at any home tourney for a player if they're in a close match the fans will always cheer on the first serve fault. I've seen it TOO many times which is why is surprises me that everybody on this site was so shocked and appalled by it. it clearly didn't have an effect on the outcome of the match
cheering for a first serve fault is no different than cheering for a mid-rally fault that wins your player a critical game/set. fed is a 34 year old legend. I have no problem with fans cheering for every postive moment he encountered in the match, and I might just be Djoko's biggest fan on this site

he is a robot.
almost not human in his tennis.
can't see how he doesn't go down as the true GOAT.
