Agree it's not fine form to hover over such sensitive areas... unless it was PolAir on business.
In the post match interview, the winner, Nick Kyrgios agreed that they couldn’t hear the ball hit the racquet.
Former player and commentator Jim Courier said they had not experienced such intrusive helicopter noise.
Surely they mean made tennis more entertaining? It's one of the dullest sports on earth.
There were several other off-court distractions to this game that also received full attention, that ultimately made for a more colourful broadcast.
