I'm kind of on the fence on this.
On one hand, I think tennis and golf crowd etiquette is really lame.
People can hit free throws, kick field goals, take penalty shots, serve volleyballs and many other precise athletic acts all with fans trying their best to distract them. When Tiger throws a fit because he hears a camera shutter, it makes me wonder how a guy mentally tough enough to win many, many 4 day sporting events can't handle a click in his backswing.
On the other hand, tennis doesn't really have a home or away crowd necessarily. Some players will never be able to play at the top level in front of a home crowd. This could be an unfair advantage to people from Grand Slam countries, or to well liked personalities in general. But still....
