Medvedev disappointed by the crowds at the AO


It would be better for him if he were more stoic but that doesn't fit the pattern nowadays where fist pumps and emotional outbursts are probably part of the seminar they get from their PR managers to gain notoriety. They can't all be Borg, but I think it would help if they'd try to channel him. As for the crowds, I've been in NY for the day crowds that are reasonably well behaved, but it seems that the night crowds are less contained. I imagine that the partisanship of the AO crowds have the added perception that Medvedev sides with Novak and that would offend their sense of servility to the mandates. 
 
Med needs to channel Novak for dealing with hostile crowds if he can't go with the Borg approach. As for bad crowds, I think screaming when a player serves should get you banned from the stadium.
