    I don't know why they grunt. Does it make them feel more powerful? The women seem to do this more than the men. I personally can't stand to listen to it. It's as annoying as fingernails scratching across a chalkboard or a person smacking their food.


    But....If it helps them win the game then more power/grunting to them. :))

    Sharapova's grunting has turned to loud screaming over the years. Can't stand watching her play.

    I think it's because it's expected; entertainment as it were......

    In some cases it is similar to a karate when they exercise their Chi power,,Fast cricket bowlers sometimes grunt when they load up to deliver a ball..at least i used to,,but i was not as loud,as karate or tennis sport people..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<< Related image

    This is what I think! The vocal is supposed to give more power.

    Seems like a hundred years ago but I did take Karate lessons. It was probably the best physical shape I was in! :)

    Serena. It started before they were on the scene. See link provided.

    they take so much air in and have to make a sound to get that air back out.

    Tennis players didn't seem to need grunting or screeching years ago, in order to attain success. Why now?

    It costs about $5,600.00 per month to make a tennis player in Belgium according to my step brother who is working his pattootie off for his son. Maybe the grunting is about their parents hard working money well spent. He also swears and sends his tennis racquet flying at times. These things can be, "Oh shoot! I wasted my parents money on that one!" ... You just never know.

    How, you might ask? Yeah, the cases and dials are made in Hong Kong. And the overall link feel in the hand is a bit light, I will link say. A Swiss-made and quartz-powered Ronda caliber 1032-1 powers the Dennison A.L.D. Collection. link The movement choice is one that Dennison representatives did want to highlight and it is worthy to note that a non-Swiss quartz movement would have been an easier, more logical choice here.
