Ladies Who Grunt

June 22, 2011

No, this isn’t a post about women who make loud noises during sex. It’s about tennis. Apparently, the officials at Wimbledon are displeased by the ladies who make loud noises during play. The Daily Beast had a countdown today of the worst offenders. Personally, I think Venus Williams should be on the list. She doesn’t grunt; she screams.

Back in the day it was Monica Seles who famously annoyed Martina Navratilova and Steffi Graf with her grunts.

When you hear her, however, you realize how much worse the current players are.

I wish they’d shut up and just hit the ball, I really do. It’s annoying.
