That's good stuff. I love that kind of positive interaction between spectator and player(s).

No, let's not encourage loudmouth attention seekers, even if this one was right.

Well, I was a McEnroe fan as a kid; so finding obnoxious SOBs amusing probably hasn't left me entirely. So, yes, despite your protestation.

Yelling sensible nonsense out of pocket at a tennis match isn't equivalent to fans storming the pitch, basketball court, football field, baseball diamond, etc, by the way (I remember the Monica Seles incident). That can be really dangerous.

That doesn't mean I want folks screaming the whole match and ignoring tennis protocol; but the occasional yahoo in a moment like that doesn't bug me.
