+ Gettin' Loud at Wimbledon
Oh, the tennis grunt. Originated by Monica Seles (AWW-EEE!), and taken to new decibels by the likes of Maria Sharapova (AAAAH!), Victoria Azarenka (OOOooo!), and Michelle Larcher de Brito (Strangled Cat!). Is it power? Is it terror? Is it an orgasm? When will it stop?! While the women’s game is calm in finding a dominant player, it sure screams entertainment, err, annoyance.
