The science behind choking during a competitive match

Yesterday during Sabalenka’s match, a British commentator asked if her screaming might distract her opponents and if it’s time to ban it. From a tennis psychology perspective, do you see this as a normal mental weapon, or an unfair disruption? And shall it be banned for each players?
Why is it so difficult to ignore the opponent and just focus on the ball?
