  | Grunting women......in tennis. Should it be allowed? With wimbledon in full flow whilst watching the women's tennis it's clear that the grunting is getting louder and louder. At what point is it too loud? People watching aren't allowed to make offputting noises so why is your opponent? |

 | the novelty of it wears off after a while..... they should be made to wear ball gags. I do think that points should be deducted for the excessive ones.. apparantly they don't make this noise when they are training or in the warm ups. Imagine how noisy centre court will be with the roof closed.... apparantly the noises are above health and safety levels for enclosed spaces! |

| they don't make noise in the wrms up because they are not hitting the ball with all of their power it's just for warming up -__- the muscles |

| I've gotta admit, I read the title and thought this thread was about something COMPLETELY different...was rather surprised and disappointed to find it was actually about tennis |

| Dementieva is SO ANNOYING! The audience took the piss and starting grunting like she did, which did not please her  It was funny yesterday when watching her play Serena though, because all of her sudden her grunt was much more violent, as if trying to out scream her. |

| Theres not a lot that can be done to stop them - whilst it may be off putting for the observer, you only need to go to the outer courts at Wimbledon to see it is first and foremost a sport - not a spectator event. |
