I don't go out of my way to watch sport. However, I used to be able to tolerate an hour or two of a tennis before all this grunting started. It's annoying, unnecessary and just plain cheating. Tennis used to be thought of as an upper class sport. Now I liken it to eating competitions and pig racing.
@BabyFacedAsians - the greatest tennis players of history didn't have this habit, and these young assholes are just making a "thing" out of it. I know it's not just talent but image as well, but this is too far. Fucking annoying.
Good! The grunting, moaning and shouting so many tennis players do is not necessary and fucking annoying. It's a distraction technique, nothing more. Now if only they banned players who did this at higher levels...
if they can ban a 9 year old why not ban azarenka and she is a bloddy pro, so whats good for one person should apply to another no matter who they are. A mild grunt sometimes is ok but not like ear deafing
The older players also had less help from the old racquets and strings so they had to swing harder and faster. I agree ban the grunters and Tennis will be a spectators sport without the need to wear ear plugs.
That's a fucking disgrace! I grunt when I play and no opponent has ever complained. And I have ADHD, which is a worse condition that this girl. Frankly, if it was that much of an issue other measures could have been taken to deal with the problem!
In self defense practice(Karate), we are encouraged by our master to shout with every attack as it gives you strength and mana. The grunt gives you focus and empowerment. Hopefully this girl is still pursuing her passion for tennis.
I admire the approach to conservatism is behaviour on court, too many stars are abusing their position as role models. BUT having said that, they should research the KIAI shout in eastern martial arts, it is definitely a legitimate source of power to physical activity/movements. The kiai power may not be local to humans, maybe sinister maybe not, worth investigating as dark spiritual energy, but it exists none the less. Soldiers charging into battle scream as they strike. No big deal.
Funny how people get on the backs of girl tennis players. Grunting was actually started by MEN like Jimmy Connors. I have tennis matches on tape with Connors and McEnroe, both grunting like crazy and very loud with the effort. And a lot of current men players do as well. No one ever criticizes men for doing it. Tennis is 100% activity and effort, not like team sport, and its got faster and more physically demanding. But men did it first !
Why would grunts be allowed and the audience has to be quiet as a mouse because they could disturb the two delicate geniuses playing? I would rather play with the audience cheering then with the idiot on the other side screaming like an idiot
Oh shut up kid... Can't stand all that screaming bullshit. If this helps players like Azarenka, Sharapova and so forth, how come a player like Steffi Graf who was silent ALL the time won more grand slams than the last 6 number ones together?!?! Plain & simple: Monica Seles started it, everybody thought it was an expression of athleticism or power, but in fact it's just rude behaviour. These girls sound like a cheap prostitutes, nothing else.
@Keytaster: Actually, it was man who started it, Jimmy Connors in the 70's. As for Stefii Graf, she got lucky because Monica Seles owned her before the stabbing. Monica would have ruled for years without that happening.
@ipolson yeah, that's why she was the number one for 377 weeks (more than SEVEN years), won 22 (!) Grand Slams, total of 107 singles tour titles and eleven doubles tour titles, as well as the olympic gold medal - because she was "lucky"... err... are you for real?
@Keytaster :Youre missing the point, that was mainly AFTER Seles was stabbed. Of course Graf could beat everyone else once Seles was not there, a lot of people think that many of those Slams would have been won by Seles if not stabbed. She had only been around a couple of years, already won a load of slams up to the incident. I didnt say Graf was lucky to win the slams. I meant she was lucky that Seles was out of the way. Seles was beating her nearly every time they met up until the stabbing.
@Keytaster Also, the game is totally different from when Graff played. It is far more faster, aggressive and more physically demanding than in those days.
@GossipBoy102 Really?? Effort? LOL. I've seen players like Sharapova, Azarenka, Williams sisters essentially walking to the net to put an easy ball away and then screaming in full throttle voice. There is almost no reason for some of the players to grunt/scream/yell. Federer plays some ridiculous defense, and puts out a full effort, while not making a single sound. The only sound is the squeaking from his shoes demonstrating his good movement. As far as this vid is concerned, horrible.
i dont think this is right everyone's got their own way of playing and if your not able to concentrate on which ever the circumstances are then stop playing. dont blame it on the other person.
Maybe after what happened at the us open 2011 with serena things will be changing. her match at the us open in 2004 got them to start the challenge system. I think her screaming come on will be looked at and compared to grunting; thus, putting an end to any noise.
It's scientifically proven that grunting affects the other players timing. These grunting pigs need to shut the hell up or stop playing the sport. Tennis has become a sport of who can grunt louder to throw off your opponent. The sport is dumb enough without the grunting.
They say that she plays to help with her ADHD... if that's the case, she can still play with friends or family. She doesn't HAVE to play professionally to help her focus/ADHD. I'm sure it's disappointing to her and her family, but she doesn't have to quit playing all together.
When tennis instructors ask players to grunt, it causes the player to inadvertently exhale while hitting the ball. Exhaling relaxes the player and makes the swing more natural. That's why.
Making noises doing anything just makes you that much stronger. Try lifting weights without making noise and with making noise. You can lift more weight if you forcefully exhale while you do it. I'm not sure why but it works.
@Chelseaforever10 not to doubt you but from my experience in martial arts was that the combination of breathing and an attack makes it a steady hard attack( like when a sniper would breath out before shooting to steady the aim)
So the kids get banned because they think it is ok as the pros do it? That is wrong. They need to outlaw grunting on the pros so they don't try to be like their idols.
grunting has nothing to do with breathing....your vocal cords should not be working during a proper breath....it should be banned...funny thing is sharapova doesn't grunt at all during practice ...she is using it as a distraction to her opponent and annoyance to everyone watching. ban it please or remove their vocal cords.
@cherae16 obviously you know nothing of martial arts as you are taught in every martial art, that involves striking ie. extreme physical exertion, that you must shout when you strike and this is called a kiai and strengthens your strikes . chinese kempo has been around for over 4000 yrs ... its not about breathing dipshit and your arguing with 4000 yrs of practical knowledge way to go genius i bow to your infallible wisdom
@xlawsjustice .....and tennis is a martial art since when...next thing you know we'll be hearing your homosexual grunting on the PGA tour....and why would you choose to personally attack me for a comment. that had nothing to do with you. get a life
@cherae16 , the point being that in sport the same rules apply for when you want to generate a large force. although i'm sorry that i attacked your person i just couldn't help myself when i see stupid comments i reply as though i am talking to an arrogant imbecile which by your reply it seems i was correct (specially the homosexual comment way to go bigot) . P.S. golf isn't about huge force its about smooth movements and technique when you try too hard to hit a golf ball you'll fuck it up
I get that they need to breath. Everyone does. But do you see soccer players screaming every time they kick the ball? No. The grunting, like someone said, is more of an annoying habit and not necessary for breathing. How about they try breathing hard like normal people.
Grunting is about breathing and giving oxygen to the muscles? You guys are idiots. It's about dominating and intimidating your opponent. I speak on behalf of actual tennis players as a player on the Junior Tour.
@SirColonelSwag No grunting is cheating the girl is LOUD and there is no reason for her to grunt like that. She is clearly copying Sharapova's grunt it is obvious.
it seems like 95% of the commenters here dont know anything about tennis... the grunts are their breathing- it gives their muscles oxygen and gives them more power. try playing tennis without breathing
@yaytennis Breathing is required for grunts. Grunts are not required for breathing as you suppose. Its nothing more than an annoying habit that one indulges in and makes excuse for it at the expense of all present including their opponent.
The error and annoyances of the pro tennis player doesn't give license to others to be annoying. Obviously it is a problem as people blog about it, make news about it, talk about and complain about it.
@chelseaforever10 It helps you when you breathe, but I find it really unnecessary cause its freaking annoying as hell! Look at Maria Sharapova, good tennis player, loudest grunts you will ever hear LOL
@chelseaforever10 same reasone you yell when punching particurly hard. it just helps, kind of unleashe the beast, give's you an extra umph. and it helps you breath
@chelseaforever10 Totally agree... Its just a form of intimidating and being impolite... I play tennis in Switzerland, and not a single soul I know, grunts as if their having their arses fucked... Its just do or die if you grunt like that, theirs no feel or elegance to it anymore, and that is what Tennis is all about, feeling the ball and being elegant in the process... And at this age its no more than sick... Federer never grunts, and look where hes landed...
@chelseaforever10 why do you think people who do martial arts scream when they throw a punch or a kick? Because they feel as if grunting or screaming would add extra power to your shots
@dencod18 Yeah, very useful for a kid like her... She doesn't even have a good technique! (Anyway... grunts are horrible, increasing or not increasing power!)
@chelseaforever10 I mean, for some players, like me, it's just a natural exhale sort of thing that happens when you hit the ball - but that's a very subtle, acceptable sort of grunt . Releasing energy, that sort of shit. I can't stand people that exaggerate it like this though, they're making tennis look bad.
@chelseaforever10 helps produce more power but what it also does is messes up your opponents timing because it makes it harder for them to judge the speed of the ball because your grunt covers the noise that the ball makes upon hitting the racquet and can also be distracting to them. grunting is part of almost every sports that require to be physically fit.
@chelseaforever10 Grunting actually helps you or encourages you to hit the ball harder. I don't grunt because I don't need to. I did hit with this guy and tried grunting for the heck of it. I did put more oomph on my ground strokes. He actually told me to keep grunting because I hit the ball harder. I did it a couple of times for that session and that's it. I keep my mouth shut.
It's about time they banned this type of mental retardation in tennis! Clearly these so called grunters are off balance in the head! Try porno films if grunting is your thing!

@SirColonelSwag No grunting is cheating the girl is LOUD and there is no reason for her to grunt like that. She is clearly copying Sharapova's grunt it is obvious.

Great job! I'm glad they're trying to discourage it at a young age. Don't want her turning into another sharapova....
Yes I know the argument, its for breathing, etc etc etc. But when shes grunting at 80 to 100 decibels, it just plain overkill.

it seems like 95% of the commenters here dont know anything about tennis... the grunts are their breathing- it gives their muscles oxygen and gives them more power. try playing tennis without breathing

@yaytennis Breathing is required for grunts. Grunts are not required for breathing as you suppose. Its nothing more than an annoying habit that one indulges in and makes excuse for it at the expense of all present including their opponent.

I don't see a problem with this child's grunting, considering that some of the professionals grunt much louder than that.

The error and annoyances of the pro tennis player doesn't give license to others to be annoying. Obviously it is a problem as people blog about it, make news about it, talk about and complain about it.

@chelseaforever10 It helps you when you breathe, but I find it really unnecessary cause its freaking annoying as hell! Look at Maria Sharapova, good tennis player, loudest grunts you will ever hear LOL

@chelseaforever10 same reasone you yell when punching particurly hard. it just helps, kind of unleashe the beast, give's you an extra umph. and it helps you breath

@chelseaforever10 Totally agree... Its just a form of intimidating and being impolite... I play tennis in Switzerland, and not a single soul I know, grunts as if their having their arses fucked... Its just do or die if you grunt like that, theirs no feel or elegance to it anymore, and that is what Tennis is all about, feeling the ball and being elegant in the process... And at this age its no more than sick... Federer never grunts, and look where hes landed...

@chelseaforever10 why do you think people who do martial arts scream when they throw a punch or a kick? Because they feel as if grunting or screaming would add extra power to your shots

@YugiohDuelz actually I do martial arts and the reason for shouting is to scare your opponent not to add power.

@trat445 Well it does, it has been proven by scientist that it increase up to 10% more power.

@chelseaforever10 I mean, for some players, like me, it's just a natural exhale sort of thing that happens when you hit the ball - but that's a very subtle, acceptable sort of grunt . Releasing energy, that sort of shit. I can't stand people that exaggerate it like this though, they're making tennis look bad.

@chelseaforever10 helps produce more power but what it also does is messes up your opponents timing because it makes it harder for them to judge the speed of the ball because your grunt covers the noise that the ball makes upon hitting the racquet and can also be distracting to them. grunting is part of almost every sports that require to be physically fit.

@chelseaforever10 Grunting actually helps you or encourages you to hit the ball harder. I don't grunt because I don't need to. I did hit with this guy and tried grunting for the heck of it. I did put more oomph on my ground strokes. He actually told me to keep grunting because I hit the ball harder. I did it a couple of times for that session and that's it. I keep my mouth shut.
