Re Sabalenka last night.
All the loud screaming while playing.
It it necessary, and should it be allowed while playing?
Alot of people mention it.
Alot say they are having to watch with the sound down.

No noises at all now from Krejcikova and Navarro...

Lol Nadals backside, what was wrong with his shorts?

You'd think he could have afforded ones that fit.

I’ve not heard it personally but my OH thinks it’s hilarious. I think I’d probably make some kind of noise if I was trying to whack a ball at near on 100mph but I suppose if people are saying it’s strategic maybe they can do without.

I do miss Nadal’s twitching and pre game routine though. And lining up his water bottles perfectly.

I stopped watching tennis for years because I really couldn't bear it. In my opinion absolutely unnecessary on every shot.

It should have been stamped on hard the day Monica Seles appeared. It's unspeakably annoying. Coaches must take a lot of the blame.
Stop and ask for a let every time your opponent screams.

Totally agree

She's s reamed her way onto the semifinal this afternoon.
She was screaming in general.

It doesn't bother me.

Women seem to get criticised for it more than men, though.

Quel surprise.
