Mmmmm. Hot tennis player thread?

everytime women's tennis is mentioned on fark, I go to the thread with anticipation... unfortunately, it seems like the threads are all born with one foot in the grave. is that a curse of the sports tab, or some fark hate on fit women.

seconded!

MoronLessOff: So, I always figured that after a grunter gets their opponent used to the grunt/pop of the return, they could grunt either slightly before or after the actual hit to give a false queue to their opponent.

you can't really upset the timing of the grunt. most people breath out while striking the ball. It's like, you hold your breathe a moment, and exhale as going through the ball.

most people make some noise while hitting the ball. it's natural. these girls are just much louder. I admit that i make more noise playing tennis as i get more tired. I also start playing a lot better once I'm a little tired. Something about pain and exhaustion making it easier to concentrate (or not concentrate, as the case may be -- whatever you call the moment where the game slows down and you stop thinking, your body just does what its supposed to, like you're in the moment). also, as you stop thinking about what you're doing, you're more prone to being ignorant to the noise you're making.

But, the noise comes with the breathing practice. You can't alter the way you're breathing without seriously altering the way you hit the ball. that would be nearly impossible for these players on this level. they're hitting the ball almost perfectly, it's not time to screw up a good thing

You are becoming a minority.

Whar the pics of the lady with the giant boobs?

inclemency: If it wasn't so damned high pitched I wouldn't mind, as men's matches don't bother me in the same way. It doesn''t sound sexual to me though, it sounds like they've been stabbed.... 300 TIMES IN A ROW.

in the back?

There's a strategic incentive to it as well: Grunting masks the sound of the racket striking the ball. A lot of players can tell how the ball is being returned by the way it was struck. Different topspins and slices have different pitches or something like that. Also, in a game where net play is almost completely gone and every stroke is a power bassline shot, it acts as a preparatory measure. By grunting loud, they not only prevent their opponent from knowing the type of shot being returned, but it's velocity as well. Grunting throws your opponent's timing and rhythm off.

That's why they do it.
