Has the crowd (a fan) ever "coached" a player while spectating?

I don't know if I've ever heard this happen but I wanted to ask.

For example, say I'm watching Jankovic play on a stadium court at a tournament and she's moving like shit and I were to yell out "Come on Jelana! Move your feet!"

Obviously I'm implying that the player/crowd heard me.

Has this ever happened?

It happened to Serena during the AO 2015, I think. (I may have the wrong tournament with AO on the brain right now). Someone shouted something at her and she incorporated it into her game and won the match. She mentioned it afterwards.

Though at the time I thought it was just a dig at Patrick as he was getting a lot of praise for coaching her to the title..
