The players have the right to expect that the fans are quiet.  Djokovic has never felt the love from the Australian supporters and frankly my experience growing up says it's a deep seeded racial thing to people who hail from the Balkan area.

I see, it's all about race! :o

Except it's been asserted fans screaming during the serve helps the server more than the receiver, it's analogous to the cheating grunters who scream to mask the sound of the serve. A few years back after the controversial revelations from some Florida based players and coaches, the ATP even conducted a study which apparently showed when hearing is removed a top end players ability to to assess the speed and direction of the serve is significantly degraded. It's one of the main reasons the grunting exists, and not at all to do with breathing or peak energy, that's just a lie the grunting cheats propagate.
