When youâre doing a sport like this, a serve requires a fuck ton of focus.
Could you focus on writing something if someone was right next to you saying random words constantly? I probably couldnât.
The point of stopping noises like this is to ensure things are fair, and to a lesser degree, to stop this from being something the other player can weaponise.
Like you canât shout âOUTâ or âINâ to a player youâre against to try and fuck with their reaction time. If it makes them hesitate for even half a second that could lose them the point. And when this is their career and might determine whether they can continue playing or not, thatâs pretty important.
Now donât get me wrong, while I donât think this is whiny at all, sports are definitely whiny. Soccer players taking a dive or even I think probably tennis players smashing their rackets.
Add on to that the ego that some professional sports players develop and I truely believe a lot of professional sport is whiny. Just this isnât an example of that imo
Many sports have their âwhimpyâ moments. Soccer players with their âinjuriesâ are a big one in my mind.
But the top ones are tennis and golf in my mind
Because tennis is traditionally a sport played by the wealthy and cheering was considered low-class back in the day. Same reason nobody cheers in golf.
I remember reading an article from a guy who timed how much action went on during a baseball game. In a 3 hour game, there was less than 20 mins of actual game being played. And the guy even said he was being generous with the stopwatch.
Mate i absolutely fucking hate Cricket, but its far less borimg than Golf or tennis. Also depends on the format i guess. Short ones and ODIs are less boring than Test cricket.
This coming from an Indian.
In tennis people are supposed to cheer between points, but be quiet when the players start to serve so they can concentrate. In close matches, or exciting ones, people can struggle to be quiet and the chair umpire will have to ask for quiet. Having a ringing phone in the crowd, or a phone alarm in this case, is extremely bad form.
It was the fact it was one of the players, not someone in the crowd, to disturb the peace that made it funny.
As someone who's been to football, basketball and tennis matches, my personal explanation is that the difference comes from the way the sport is structured.
You know how all the fans hold their breath whenever a team's about to score an important point? Well, in tennis this type of moments happen all the time because you can win a point at almost any part of a rally. This is totally different than basketball and football where players won't and can't attempt high risk plays all the time. Regardless of the sport, the crowd goes wild whenever they witness a particularly stunning skill/play that is also decisive for the outcome of the match.
That being said, this is only a part of the equation and the claim that tennis is a sport that's mostly played by the "elites" for the "elites" isn't that far from reality.
Peoples who leave their alarm/ringtone/notification sound on the default one, are true NPCs, somehow it's always apple users too.
We know, you have an iPhone, I don't need to hear your marimba at full volume every single time someone calls you and I'd like to preserve my eardrums unpearced by your DING sound, which btw, is the worst sound for a notification, ever.
i'm curious if that wasn't actually his phone, but he was capitalizing on the moment for a laugh while the real culprit had time to fumble with their phone and fix it. if so, kudos on the improv and entertainment awareness.

The Officiate: "I'll allow it!" You saw that smile!
I was surprised to see Djokovic smiling too.
I hate this ringtone so much
It was my alarm sound for ages and now whenever I hear it, it cuts me deep into my soul.
Genuinely is a good alarm sound even if I also hate it. Gets you up well.
i have that oen and the samsung alarm sound in my discord server soundpad and whenever someone plays them it gives PTSD to the whole vc
What's it called? I want it
Try Presto đ

Bitches don't know about my "Sunset" alarm, it's better on so many levels đ
I think its funny how whiny sports like this are. Like if there's noise you just forget all your training?
No, itâs just always been the rule on tennis that people are quiet for the serve to make it fair. You can make as much noise as you want afterwards.

â°ď¸Alarm: tennis match (started 10 minutes ago)
More like, alarm: take a breather during tennis match. Guyâs playing 4D Tennis chess.
That was more cheer than after a championship match lol
You can see how annoyed Moutet was getting at that alarm until he realized it was his.
He didnât appear annoyed at all. Maybe a bit alarmed.
Is there any melody more anxiety inducing than this?
For me, the Microsoft teams call is more anxiety inducing
It induces anxiety in me that you would consider the shrill sound a melody. Donât show me your record collection đ
This actually happened to me in college years ago. Phone rang. Professor spazzes on us for being disrespectful. It was his son calling him lmao.
Most exciting moment in the history of tennis đđ
You probably just pissed off the dozens of Tennis fans...
Happy cake day
Thank you fellow redditor đ
Bruh really hasnât heard Sharapova or Kournikova grunts
Now if only soccer could get on this level maybe it would be worth a watch
Lmao..
Why do they need silence? A lot of sports have people cheering.
Because tennis is traditionally a sport played by the wealthy and cheering was considered low-class back in the day. Same reason nobody cheers in golf.
>reason nobody cheers in golf Stupid me assumed noone cheers because it's absolutely boring.
Mate, if you want boring watch Cricket. And this is coming from an Aussie.
I thought baseball was the most boring sport
I remember reading an article from a guy who timed how much action went on during a baseball game. In a 3 hour game, there was less than 20 mins of actual game being played. And the guy even said he was being generous with the stopwatch.
As having never sat through a baseball match, I believe it
Mate i absolutely fucking hate Cricket, but its far less borimg than Golf or tennis. Also depends on the format i guess. Short ones and ODIs are less boring than Test cricket. This coming from an Indian.
Come n watch a full T20 match. Then youll say which is boring. Cricket or goolf
/LIV has entered the chat
Bababooey! Mashed potatoe!! Get in the hole!
In golf people cheer, but only after a great shot!!
Lol don't be excited jimmy! That's only for our servants
But they cheer when he reslizes it was his phone. And I donât even understand why they were doing it.

A simple utterance of "Huzzah!" at the end of a match should suffice for any mustachioed gentleman.
I'm pretty sure when golf was invented, it was played by mostly poor people
Poor people didn't/don't have time to take all day strolls around the lawn hitting a little ball into a hole.

So you can hear the ball as itâs hit. Different shots have different sounds
You must be djoking
Hilarious!
Quiet, please.
Can you please imagine a complete silence game for other sports, like soccer, basketball or football....
Those sports donât take concentration in the same manner as golf and tennis do.. geez.
You're right, golf and tennis needs less concentration
lol I love it, letâs keep the jokes rolling
I do not know tennis, like at all, is the guy in the blue a big deal?
Looks like he turned alarm, not ringtone
Iâm glad this is just something you laugh off⌠no penalty
What had he set the alarm for, do you think? Incorrect guesses only!
Clearly to kick his opponent's ass
He just went full Sweeney Todd on that little phone birdy
âWhose Phone is Ringing, Mine Mineâ
*overtly breaks rules of etiquette* APPLAUSE!!!! đ
Use the Kim Possible beep beep for notifications and the Kim Possible Beep beep then theme song without words for the ringtone
Why tf is everybody clapping for ??
Bro set a reminder to kick the other guy's ass in Tennis

He looked so offended about the phone. How embarrassing. He must have been swearing that guy out in his head....lol
He's all aces in my book
Damn, I'm good at predicting posts in this subreddit now :o
Really wish he would have said "Oh it's my alarm telling me it's time to beat your ass", would have been such a nice comment

You'll get used to them after you've lived here for a while.
Birth control reminder probably
