You realize the vast majority of major crowds are casuals right? We all know who Felix is. Does the average casual fan who goes to a major know? Nope, not even slightly. It's not even like he has a deep run in a major like Denis has had to increase the profile. At this point he's still mostly unknown outside the die hards. Kyrgios, regardless of what you think of him, is probably as well known as anyone outside the big 3 and Andy.
Besides the French fans cheer all their quitters, who ####ing cares what the fans think? Felix isn't losing this match because the crowd isn't behind him, and if he is that is far more problematic because it suggests mental weakness.
