What a bunch a SHIT!! Next thing they'll be after all sports. Can you imagine going to the gym and trying that 3rd set of 10 without letting your spotter know yer arms are about to blow? Or when pumping that last one, and ya know its gonna make it, letting that "Victory" grunt out. They wanna cry about noise, Hey, lets get rid of the irritating sneaker squeals on a fine wood floor. How about the crash of pads during a football game? Can ya imagine someone walking up to "Mean Joe" Greene (or anybody in the NFL)and telling him he can't grunt?
Ya, thats the problem...too much "color" in sports...Go cry me a river...
Think you missed the point Calvin. Tennis, Bowling, Golf all have this thing about silence from the audience/fans while the players are concentrating on their next shot/roll/serve. In Bowling once the bowler has rolled the ball shouting and screaming from the audience is quite ok. In Golf, the gallery is quiet when Tiger is preparing for a 19'4" putt and after he hits it, screaming and yelling "in the hole" and so forth. In Tennis, the crowd in the stadium "all" know the proper behavior. When play is going on, it's silence. After each point, the crowd can react whatever way they please until the begining of the next point wherein the crowd shuts up again. It's the way it's been for 100 years. But now things have a new wrinkle. I'm sure there has been outbursts or occasional yells and so forth from players during a 2-3 hour match. No problems with that. But now some players are screaming/yelling /grunting with every fucking stroke in a silent stadium during play. I know why they do it...to annoy their opponent. I've played USATT tournament table tennis since the early 70's. Table Tennis has a similiar request from the audience...silence during play. I've played players who yelled, or screamed during a rally and it can throw you off. The point is this new development with all the grunting/screaming/yelling in tennis today is very annoying to listen to for 2-3 hours in a silent stadium. It's annoying to the TV audience. It's unnecessary. The thing is if one does it and it's successful then the rest follow suit. I concur this issue needs to be addressed. The sounds are like someone is being bludgeoned for hours on end.

You've overlooked Troll the per centage of women's tennis players being les-beins. None the less a hard nipple protruding into a tight garment is OK with me.
