The noise level was such that the 2025 Australian Open had to change the court for the match between Davidovich and Auger-Aliassime. Jacob Fearnley, the protagonist of that noisy clash against Arthur Cazaux, speaks at a press conference about what it was like to play on a court that has a bar on one of its sides: "It was interesting. I didn't actually notice the court before going, so when I saw the bar, I thought it was going to be a pretty noisy environment. As I settled into the match, I tried to ignore as much as I could. Obviously, some fans were very drunk, but the atmosphere was great, it was incredible. There was a guy who was extremely noisy on the bar side. At first, I didn't know if he was trying to intimidate me, but then I realized he was on my side, in fact, they kicked him out in the end."
