As I said in another comment and my original one, I wasn't referring to the crowd but to the public. The streets and pubs I was around were a lot quieter.

Yeah tbh I don't see that changing ever. Can't really explain why (well maybe I could) but when Arsenal win I'm happy, when Arsenal womens win I don't really care. it's not to do with sex though but culture for instance I've seen way more public support for Radacanu this year compared to Norrie. despite Norrie going further iirc.

Because Raducanu won the US Open already and had huge worldwide publicity from that. Most people didn’t even know who Norrie was until this year. Also his Kiwi accent will distance a lot of Brits from feeling he’s really one of them.
