stop with the grunting!
Tennis is NOT that hard and I think it's an obnoxious trick by spoiled kids who grow up to be annoying adult grunters!

Holy curmudgeon, Batman. If Venus can play tennis like that, she can make any noise she wants!

Oh Michael, ooph! Such a shot. and Warren, really..do you grunt? I played the other day, btw. and what if a baseball pitcher shouted each time they threw home. It IS obnoxious!!!!

Jeez Louise, I only wanted to comment on the "tennis isn't that hard" foolishness. Obviously, Roger Federer, the best there is, doesn't grunt at all. But his skill does seem to exceed the 'walk and chew gum' criteria, no?
