But then again, Id get frustrated if players did that against me, but at the same time, I realized I was in their heads and they were washed up for the match if they started out slow. Time for Halep to smell blood

Cmon man they need to sort this screaming sh1te out and give penalties to those who do it excessively because its completely unecessary and learned...shouldn't it be considered disruptful noise to an opponent anyway


And they need to knock it off with this sharapova soul survivor ultra mental toughness sh1te...tennis games ebb and flow all the time and sharapova crawls into a fetal position at the mere sight of serena's name on a scoreboard

Agreed, especially on the bolded.

The screaming does get annoying. The worst is playing in a tournament against someone who yells "come on" after you make an error. Its like alright buddy.

Ive trolled back before. Was down a set to someone who kept doing that in a tourney...came back and won the second set then trolled as I put him away in the third. After every point I said some bullshyt. He had a rooting section behind the fence too...so when I was on that side of the court and I missed a point..I would turn and look down at my racquet and say loudly "come on man, this dude is garbage..I gotta stop giving away points because he cant earn them"...they got so fukkin livid.

Definitely noticeable as a spectator, but I don't think any grunting from an opponent ever threw me off in an actual match. I'm looking at court and body position to read the players next move.

But I can see how it's highly unusual if 99% of every game and practice it's relatively silent.... Until you play Sharapova and it's like... Da fukk is this?!

bullshyt decision just cost the match

tbh everyone knew sharapova would win it all after all those big names went out in the 1st week

Serena better not bullshyt at Wimby

Yeah thats the point. These players practice at full speed and dont make a peep.

I love it when serena starts mocking her and grunts when she wins a point lol

was that a bs decision? some are saying it is.

i thought how it went down was a typical characteristic of a ball skidding off the line
