If they think Sharapova is bad, they should youtube some of Monica Seles' matches.

I can honestly say I don't know what the big deal is. Tell the kid to breath without activating her vocal chords.

Sounds like someone got schooled by a 9-year-old and couldn't take it =\.

I absolutely HATED watching Seles play tennis. Loudest grunter ever. 6 to 7 opponents actually complained to the umpire.
Serena Williams is pretty bad at it too now but nowhere near Seles.

Are you kidding, its the only reason to watch tennis besides the hotness of the eastern European imports.
And if you close your eyes, its audio porn.

Really? I friggin' loved Seles, we'd be talking about Federer catching her for best tennis player all-time if that fan hadn't stabbed her.

It was Monica Seles who originally inspired the "gruntometer", the measuring of decibels on Centre Court by newspapers. The first of the female power players, the Yugoslav teenager's trademark was a loud grunt each time she belted the ball across the net.
Seles registered 93.2 decibels, enough to make her quarter-final opponent at Wimbledon in 1992 demand that she not be allowed to make noise. Seles clammed up - and eventually lost the tournament to Steffi Graf.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4118708.stm
The tabloids quickly dubbed her "Moan-ica" and demanded, "Stop that grunt!" One writer, claiming to have monitored her with a "gruntometer," said the noises coming out of the 18-year-old registered 93 decibels, about what a diesel train would produce. The grunts emitted by Gabriela Sabatini and Jennifer Capriati were deemed dulcet whimpers compared with Monica's. Countered Seles: "I don't think I'm going to win a match because I'm grunting."

I wonder if Seles will grunt on dancing with the stars?

Actually, they do. I find Nadal's grunting (sounds more of like a moan!) to be rather distracting. And before you make a joke of it  , I find it distracting in an annoying way.
Gustavo Kuerten is pretty bad too.

Kuerten is the worst IMO. Sounds like he's delivering a money shot to a celebutante at every stroke of the ball.
Interpret freely.

Depends, if it appears she has the gene potential to become hot, then let her grunt. No gene potential, no grunting allowed IMO.
