I wish they would just ban that nonsense. Yes, exhaling can help, but you don't have to screech. It's just annoying/awkward (depending on who's doing it). Same goes for the men who do the "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh." None of them yell, a lot of them grunt slightly, but some of them do the 5-second moan. It's actually pretty funny. |
i'm affraid Radwanska is a screamer too
don't you find it pleasant when a woman is making those noises ? |

actually, i don't find the women's grunts annoying. as long as they look like they're putting out some kind of effort in winning the match, then i'm up for it. i would be pretty upset to pay full price tickets to watch 6-0 6-0 matches.
i know there are those women who make the grunts, but don't put the effort in their hits. :rolleyes: :D |

| you just make a rule against any noise that's considered to be excessive. There already is something like that, and Sharapova used to get called on it when she was younger, but they almost never enforce it. You have to literally scream for them to even issue a warning. They already have subjective warnings & penalties for disputing calls, anyway. |

LOL I agree. Imagine them having sex, I would hope they don't grunt that way :nervous: haha
Well I saw the Venus - Ivanovic match & it proved that Venus still has it...bitch is powerful and I still like her over Serena. Ivanovic is really hott though so it sux to not have that eye candy hahaha :p
either way this open is going good...Rafa advances as do the Williams sisters.
I need to see this Blake match later & I am rooting for him cuz out of the American men, he is my fave. Man has skill.
Overall, Rafa would be my top choice [as usual] for the men.
Anyone have a predictions for the women semi? Another Venus - Serena match? I really hope so. |

after watching the Chakvetadze-Paszek fourth round match, i saw how women's tennis would be without sharapova and the williams sisters. :wtf:
imo, after the year 2010, women's tennis will see the last of the few remaining players leave the game and mark the end of what we have to say the best competitive tennis in the women's bracket ever. from top to bottom, they always came out with their A game, and played their hearts out to beat each other down, and wear each other out.
the williams sisters. clijsters. henin. sharapova. mauresmo. davenport. myskina. kuznetzova. dementieva. seles and hingis on their comeback tours.
you guys and gals can add more names to this list. :) |
