Hooting and screaming has been killing women's tennis. This howl, hoot and guttural scream-a-thon is an unwatchable embarrassment.

sharapova just can't take the ball early like a serena, clijsters, li na or kvitova can. And you have to do that if your gonna hurt azarenka

why would you run away from the argument? i'm just trying to shed some light from a players perspective. I'm not intentionally trying to be a show off or anything.

@DWaq32 Thank yoooooooooooooooooooooooooou! Wooooooooooooooooooooo! Woooooooooooooooooooo!  Woooooooooooooooooooo!

Silent breathing techniques exist that could substitute or even improve what players like Azarenhoooootka and Screamapova are going for. What it boils down to this: the noise is a distraction and intimidation tactic. And it works wonders in the same way on tennis viewers. Because of it, the sport definitely is losing more fans than it gains. For you doubters, well...as they say: “Ignorance is bliss.” This is my final word. I am no longer following the thread. Pound sand dungzhole.

@duongz You have now proved your complete cluelessness for the second time. Could it be any clearer that the subject I started and that you have been commenting on deals specifically with the noise's effect on the millions of people who watch. Also, only elitist snobs stuck up about their ntrp level would say they are vastly more qualified to comment on why tennis players scream. In any event, it's a major distraction from the game. Period. Now stick that in your ntrp rating and shove it.

@ebcebcebc123123123

so why wouldn't you tell me if you play or not. Only people who play tennis at a high level appreciate and respect the hardships of the game. i play at a 4.5 level and thats why I understand why they scream. So if you don't play tennis, you are basically commenting on a subject that you have no field experience on.
