Azarenka's high pitch wailing...?

Azarenka doesn't scream. It sounds more like a bird's mating call

***Do you think, since people pay see them play and make them wealthy, they should tone it down just out of respect of viewing tennis in peace?***

Absolutely! This type of gamesmanship ought to have been forbidden about 20-25 years ago, [or earlier] when players started doing it. It's a disgrace, IMHO, that the ITF, the ATP, the WTA, the national associations have sat on their duffs and done nothing about this for so many years.

Three reasons they do it:

1. It annoys the opponent.

2. Since it annoys the opponent, it helps win matches.

3. It helps cover up the sound of the racket on the ball at contact.

There was a story on the news saying that the WTA is starting to "phase out" the screaming, but they are *not* going to demand that some of the top players stop it! Can you believe it?

Tilden once said "Pro tennis will succeed in spite of itself." Now, I think I know what he meant.

I thought of the song below whilst listening to the current WTA #1 player.

the players do it for 2 reasons. Firstly, it hides the sound of the strings on the ball and hence the spin, so is an advantage that way. Secondly, it actually delays the reaction of the other player by a few hundredths of a second. So, they should tone down the gamesmanship, but no-one enforces it at all, so why bother if it helps them win?

The logic of the wta tour....

This question over and over again is highly annoying too, you know. It doesn't bother alot of tennis fans and alot of players have said it doesn't bother them. I'm indifferent to the whole issue. They could allow it to keep happening and I would understand but I would equally understand if they banned it.

Forget the fans that are watching, I feel more for their opponents. I bet it must effect their

concentration in some shape or form.

I love tennis and it doesn't bother me.

In philosophy 101-logic we would call your fallacy a "false premise."

Azarenka 's grunts too loud.........:P

its too much annoying

:p
