WTA Targets ‘Excessive Grunting’

Now they’re going after tennis players grunting?  (HT: Ray Sawhill)

The WTA says it is working with Grand Slam tournaments and the International Tennis Federation to “drive excessive grunting” out of tennis.

In a statement, the women’s professional tour says it is developing a “sport-wide plan” to keep future players from grunting by educating them and instituting rule changes.

The WTA had said in January it was looking at ways to deter players from grunting, noting then that “some fans find it bothersome.”

Nigga, please!  Grunting is to tennis as spitting is to baseball, or fighting is to hockey
