I think that was tried before but the parents, a Mr and Mrs McEnroe, stubbornly refused to accommodate the request.

Any indication of the age of the baby? If very young, then there's no issue. If it was a year old, then I'd agree.

However if the child was disturbing the game

I watched the video. It's impossible to say whether as soon as the baby wouldn't settle that the parent(s) didn't take it outside.

Stupid comment by commentator. Not unknown. But nothing else.

Australian Open crying baby sparks parenting debate | Daily Mail Online

The mother should be at home looking after the child. Dad should be too poor to afford tickets to the tennis having lost it all to his ex-wife who wanted to sh4g her tennis coach.
