Tennis grunts and groans

I honestly think all this grunting and groaning should be banned on court it must be very off putting for some of the players. Maybe it turns some people on but certainly not me😁

Re: Tennis grunts and groans

I am sure there used never to be all the grunting and groaning on court years ago. I find it intensely irritating and off putting

I agree - just couldn't sit and watch that, couldn't 'stand' it either ....................

Re: Tennis grunts and groans

The grunts during the women's matches this afternoon was horrendous.I like to watch the tennis but had the t.v. on mute during the matches which spoils it for me.I'd rather watch the men play.

Could just be me but I think there is less grunting than say,10 years ago?

Ms Sharipova is a fine player but she does make some noise.
