Me-Ow!

AARP spokeswoman Martina Navratilova’s still feisty. The 51-year old tennis pro took some time recently to take on young players’ fascination with exaggerated grunts, including Maria Sharapova: “If I were the commissioner of tennis I would outlaw (screeching during matches.) Maria’s level gets louder the closer the match and quite frankly it’s not necessary, they aren’t lifting 300 pounds, they’re hitting a tennis ball.” [Down The Line]

I totally agree. It’s done for effect. These players also cry and moan if the crowd is not absolutely silent as they serve and as “play” is in progress. Martina should just go out on the court and give Maria something to cry about.

I play tennis in gay leagues and the some of the guys do the grunt…I totally agree with her, that it’s silly…although, when they start the grunt, I usually counter by a deep “Woof” when I return…it cracks my doubles partner up…he sometimes will grunt “meow”, to counter my “woof”…ahhhh, gay tennis is sooo fun!!
