LONDON (AFP) - Grunting noises made by female tennis players as they strike the ball are getting out of hand, and rules should be changed to crack down on the practice,
Wimbledon referee Alan Mills has said, according to a report.

Mills, Wimbledon's chief official for 22 years who retires after this week's tournament, which begins on Monday, told The Sunday Times he believed coaches were teaching young women players to grunt.

"I don't like it at all. Today there is probably more grunting than there has ever been," he said.

"If I was playing an opponent making so much noise, I think I'd just laugh. But it's what young players are being coached to do.

"Many of the non-grunting players are unhappy about the noise pollution and a kind of counter-grunt culture has emerged in recent years whereby offended parties ape their opponent's noises."

He added: "Officials can only act if the player is shown to be making the noise on purpose, which is virtually impossible to do.

"As far as I am concerned it is certainly a specific matter that the rule makers should address."

One of the loudest of the modern grunters is defending women's champion Maria Sharapova, who, according to the paper, makes a 100-decibel grunt, roughly the same volume as small aircraft landing nearby.

But I like hearing Maria grunt when she serves up the ball :winkwink:

Good plan!

I vote they replace the grunt with the girls O moan instead. Will increase viewership by 340%.

I just thought about this today.. i think they should just get rid of it digitally.

That's like stopping a boxer from force breathing through his nose to make sure his mouth is shut..it's part of their training..won't happen

Maria's grunt sounds like an O moan sometimes :winkwink:

Oh fucking christ. this goddamn conservativeness is making me fucking sick.

the whole fucking reason i watch womens tennis is for the upskirts and the damn sexual noises. sex is money, even in tennis. if they are smart they will make the grunting better to attract more revenue.

idiots.

if there was no grunting, i wouldn't be watching

Maria makes the loudest and most arousing grunts... They can't do this. :(

Man I remember when Monica Seles started doing that...not too many female tennis players were grunting...fuck it sounded sexy...LOL

you feel me -- ! -- WTF is this shit -- :upsidedow

it kills me when people who don't have a fucking clue what's making their product sell decide to cut out the best part -- who the fuck do they think carries women's tennis but male fans -- ? -- this is depressing -- and here we are trying to keep the sex inside the box -- fuh-huck


2HP

:1orglaugh

ah man.. ,means I'll have to make up another excuse to watch women'stennis :(

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

The grunting is what keeps men watching . Try watching womens tennis with your eyes closed, and you would swear 2 girls are getting fucked in the same room..

My favorite part is that they actually took the time to calculate Maria Sharapova's grunt at 100 decibals

viewership? Try listening to the radio coverage on the BBC..it is like the sound track to a porn movie. *thud* *oooooooohmp* *thud* *aaaaaaaaah*, etc.

Yeah right on.......... :thumbsup

too many women must be finding their men glued to the female tennis matches jerking off :1orglaugh
