aaaaand there it is.
That high pitched noises are more grating than low pitched ones??
Wow, ā¦ revelatory!!
Mmph.
Whether they are or not doesnāt matter, unless youāre going to enforce a āno grunting above middle Cā rule.
People being outraged for the sake of being outraged
Mufflers??
Soooo, ā¦ whoās outraged?
It was directed at her, sheās the only fat one on the circuit.
And there is no way they will schedule Ramos to umpire her match because then sheāll say the WTA are racist
SMJ obviously.
Iām with you on the screeching, though I reckon Nadal is just as bad, itās bullshit.
I think itās either all bad or none of it is. I find it in general a bit irritating, but you canāt make a massive fuss for the women if you donāt for the men! Surely weād all agree with that.
And I donāt really give two sh/ts about the issue, but thereās a long long long history of people finding womenās voices irritating in circumstances where they would never find a mans voice irritating. Itās callled unconscious bias and itās a thing.
Personally I only really notice Nadal out of the men, but there is every chance there are more. I find most of the men give that soft type of grunt at the end of the stroke but Nadal and sharapova do it when they do a ā ā ā ā ā ā ā drop shot.
Yep true.
I always think of the praise accorded to this amazing point whenever I hear about the female grunting issue
Iād have thought it was more about the pitch of the sound than whether itās man/woman.
If Nadal grunted with the high pitch shriek of Maria, Iād despise that too.
Thatās outrageous
Iām fine with Maria screaming.
I really am.
I mean personally it doesnāt bother me cause I donāt watch womenās tennis!
I went and watched the Gavrilova mwatch in R1, barely a whimper out of either one.
Sharapova is the worst and there are a couple following closely.
You can tell when itās for extra effort and when itās just a tactic.
We all have different irritation trigger points.
Two people talking at a table in a restaurant ā fine.
A person on their mobile phone talking at a table in a restaurant ā irritating.
High pitched squealing playing every friggin shot ā very irritating. Canāt stand it irritating. Will avoid watching the match (or have it on mute) irritating.
As saladin said, itās the pitch thatās the problem rather than the sound. The menās grunting is different and a more bearable and less noticeable - at least to me.
I find rafaās as bad as Sharapova and Williams. Then there are a bunch of others (mostly women) on the level below
I watch Maria.
Binoculars, shinning up drain pipes.
I watch.
Thatās not true. I hate Nadal for that and his ā ā ā ā sniff.
