How come basketball players can shoot baskets from the other end of the court to the sound of shouting and roaring and whistling, and badminton players can happily get through a game with the spectators Olé-ing away at the top of their voices, and vollyball fans get to vent their spleen as much as they want......
but if you so much as think about opening a sweet wrapper or make the tiniest catcall in tennis, the whole thing grinds to a halt until there's monastic silence again.
Why are tennis players so precious?

no idea - its also called "devil take the hindmost". Dont think there's any actual satanic involvement in it. Its very entertaining though0 -

Is this the omnium or whatever they call it? Caught a bit of it earlier, really fun event though I didn't really understand what they were trying to do.0 -
