Who’s the greatest Wimbledon grunter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ There have been some wonderful grunters at Wimbledon over the years. In the ladies’ game, Monica Seles is often credited with the beginning of the grunts – whilst the same criticism (or should that be compliment?) is often levelled at Jimmy Connors in the men’s game. Today, the Williams sisters Serena and Venus, are both great grunters – whilst Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and David Ferrer can be heard all around Wimbledon at this time of year. Maybe it’s some weird mating ritual amongst tennis players? It can certainly sound like the soundtrack to a blue movie at times. But if you had to pick out on player who really reigns supreme in the grunting stakes – then it is, of course, the tall Russian doll Maria Sharapova. This is illustatred wonderfully in a YouTube video from Betfair – with a great sign off from the greatest player SW19 has ever seen, Roger Federer who says; “be quiet – ok!?” If you could bet on the greatest decibel of grunt during the fortnight with Betfair – then the ultimate prize may go to Britain’s own Andy Murray with one enormous grunt. But for sheer quantity – no-one comes close to Sharapova. |
