I was so disappointed that Coco Vandeweghe did win today. I wanted her to knock out the screecher, Sharapova. She plays Serena next.
Confused now as to who won. Who plays Serena next? I saw about one minute of this match while flicking through channels earlier. One minute is quite enough for me. Fortunately The Ashes begins in Cardiff tomorrow and with another gloomy summer's day forecast I might be able to watch the whole first day's play.
There have been complaints about Maria Sharapova's grunting/ screeching for years but nothing or no one has stopped her. I can understand a player grunting if it's a long rally or they are running around the court like a steam train, but Maria hoots as a matter of course every single time she hits the ball.

This has given me an idea for my creative skills. I might have time to do it before the test match starts. Watch this space!
(According to something I read on Youtube, the WTA banned grunting two years ago so they shouldn't still be doing it. I've just found another top howler while researching, Azarenka.)

Birth/tennis depends on the person undergoing it AF. I admit I never grunted whilst playing tennis myself but seem to remember some complaining whilst the little FPs arrived on the scene.
This video took me just over two hours to produce. The focus is not too much on grunting but it's there at the beginning of Blondie's 'Maria' and in a couple of the chorus lines. The funniest video I found while searching for bits and pieces was the Beth In Show and so I used parts of that and left a nice grunt to finish off. The other clips are from various Sharapova matches, including vs Azarenka (another infamous grunter) plus clips from a Sharapova documentary. Enjoy!
