Generally I agree but I think for this tournament it’s become a bit of a “scene” so it caters to the Instagram/TikTok set and people don’t really understand the basic etiquette of watching tennis live anymore

horse races are already a shitshow and i imagine it's gotten worse. i was just in saratoga springs -- worst crowds imaginable after the races get out
