Should perhaps have specified it was the US Open I was watching.

It occurs to me to anticipate a probable riposte of "Why not just press the 'mute' button?", by saying that the crowd reactions, calls, sound of the actual game like ping of ball on racket and running footsteps &c, are all part of the desirable atmosphere which I should not wish to lose.

Would add too that some sports {e.g. soccer} can do with just one not over-obtrusive commentator to name the player on the ball &c ~ but, please, no more than that.
