Quick Random Thoughts: Tennis

Billie Jean King never grunt/moaned when she played tennis.

Chris Evert never grunt/moaned when she played tennis.

Martina Navratilova never grunt/moaned when she played tennis.

Evonne Goolagong never grunt/moaned when she played tennis.

Margaret Court never grunt/moaned when she played tennis.

So why, dear God, why, do modern women tennis players feel the need to grunt/moan with every shot?

According to Wikipedia, this thing started with Jimmy Connors, but I gotta tell ya - I watched a ton of Jimmy Connors matches, and I sure don't remember him grunt/moaning the way that you hear it today.

And I don't mean to pick on the women, but facts are facts - most of them seem to do it, while very few (actually I can't think of one off the top of my head) men do it.

But just to be fair, man, woman, or child - STOP IT, ALREADY!
