Could someone try to explain to me why the women tennis players I'm watching keep having a major orgasm ? Can they not play quietly for goodness sake ?
It's called cheating. They don't do it in practise, which proves they don't need to do it. They aim to stop their opponent hearing the ball coming towards them, and therefore being able to judge it fully
I believe that the players who grunt, of either gender, do it to add to the force of the stroke. I have no idea if that's true, I don't play, but it does seem that some do it more than others, and some not at all.
Cheating? It's not even gamesmanship, dee. What happens on the practice courts and what happens on the playing courts are two different things. You don't give your all on the practice courts and leave nothing for the match. As has already been said, some do it (some much louder than others), some don't. And, yes, Sharapova is the main culprit but it didn't do her any good yesterday.
