The Grunting and Screaming in Women's Tennis is So Bizzare

[yydouble]

Watching Cornet play Lucic-Baroni here in San Diego at 3:14am and I might as well be watching Bangbros! Had to turn down the sound out of respect for my neighbor's kids.
It is the only sport I can think of in which this happens.
WTF is this all about?
Why do women do it more than men?
Why only Tennis?
It makes some matches un-listenable, others kind of intriguing.
Is it an advantage?: intimidating, masking the sound of contact like ping pong?
Or is it a dis-advantage?: waste of breath, a tell?
What a strange human behavior.

I do not think it makes you play better either

They should ban it

this shit has been out of line for years..... i'm with the NHL Moderator on this one.... ban the shit; makes womens tennis even more unwatchable....

only way I will ever watch women's tennis is if the start making em wear the same attire they wear in beach volleyball..... I can watch that shit all day long, but only if the network doesn't immediately cut away from ass shots........ hate it when they do that.... it's like major networks have a real problem showing a tanned up babe's ass hangin' out of a tiny bikini.....

Monica Seles. She was a screamer and the top player in the world. The Williams sisters say they copied her and screamed because that's what they did. Youngsters copied the Williams sisters and on it goes.

Not limited to women. The white man chrome dome like Michael Jordan just does not work. Michael could have done so much for bald men if he would have played Caesar style like Lloyd Free.

Sharipova is the one that caused me to damn near brake my wrist hitting the remote as hard as I could to change the channel the second I saw/heard her screaming ass......

this is what women's tennis needs to wear:

[pattymayo]

Azarenkas the worst

I would guess it fires them up

[PerfectGrape]

Hides the sound of the spin, throws off opponents timing, distracts opponents. Makes it harder to return potentially

Not sure about the correlation between women grunting and men shaving their heads but thanks for reminding me of World B Free! He had a lot of self confidence and a hell of a jumper!

this is what women's tennis needs to wear:

Auto, we should start our own Swimsuit Ladies Tennis Tour. (SLTT) or "slut" for short. We let the sponsors pick the outfits. Victoria Secret vs. Reef Swimsuits etc....If they showed their ass cheeks in women's tennis it would be the most watched sport in the history of mankind!

It really does disguise the sound of the ball hitting the racket an the sound of the ball hitting the ground on the first bounce which might be just as important as the racket contact sound. Could you imagine if a group of fans screamed along with a player on every shot? They would have to stop the match.
So why is it legal to make noise while playing? I keep thinking of golf, if heckling was allowed in golf it might boost attendance and surely would change the way the game is played.

all i know is, if we start the tour, and they wear stuff like below, no one will sit near me, for two primary reasons:

first, they don't want to get hit with the sporadic "spray" emitting from my crotchal region every six to seven minutes.... (and no, it's not a "spray" from one of those "cooling fans" that you see in trendy patio restaurants), and

second, the walkways between the bleachers will be very "slick" in the ten foot diameter range around where I am sitting, slick with millions and millions of my potential offspring that will unfortunately die an agonizing death in the sweet ocean front heat...........

or how about simply just going back to the good ole days of them wearing sheer, see-through panties?!...or sometimes thongs and g-strings?...or maybe even commando!......here's a good upskirt shot Jana Novotna back in the day!...pubes and all!...

agreed

[DiggityDaggityDo]

WOmens volleyball is hot, as long as you don't look at their faces.

[Auto Donk]

there have been a few of em over the years that looked pretty damn good........ but, being an ass man, my well-trained eye is always locked in on the bikini bottoms...... I couldn't pick a single women's beach volleyball player out of a police line up (facing front) if you promised me all of bobbywaves' bet points to do so......

this is why anybody watching that crap is watching it:

I can't even watch womens tennis with the volume on without breaking out into a giggling fit. My local sports bar accidentally put in on after the hockey game one time. Man, that was embarassing.

They should at least ban the sports Bra. Remembering the old days of Graf and that Argentinian (can't recall her name).

I still remember Steffi Graf changing shirts one time at Wimbeldon between games with ball girls (boys maybe?) holding towels.

There's a strange scene in Ken Park about women's tennis and the grunts.
