Amazing. I guess some of them make a LOT of noise but I've heard it helps them exhale as they strike the ball. Word got around because they all do it now. I don't see the harm in it but I suppose the officials have found it improper and unladylike. Sheesh, these are athletes and this isn't golf! And, well, it is kinda sexy...

What?! Grunting is what makes it so interesting. Seriously, you can almost predict who is going to miss the ball based on thier grunts.:uhhuhuh:

Oh my gosh its about time! That gal who is so hi pitched drives me nuts. We watch tennis on mute anymore. I'm glad that they are going to put their foot down about that. Its one thing if just occasionally but it really takes alot away from the enjoyment of watching tennis, imo.
