Do you know how many tennis players to this and always have and still do and nobody has ever said a word or complained.... I mean i would consider cheating doing what Serena and her coach got caught doing in the u.s open a few years ago when her coach was "coaching" (that's what it's called) her from the stands behind the oppenent via hand signals and the umpire caught onto it and told the coach to stop and then Serena got all "triggered" and accusing the umpire of accusing her of cheating and demanded an apology from him (which he didn't give) and then she kept rampaging and threw her racket and then kept on going at the umpire and then started talking crap about his family (later the coach admitted that he was coaching her and giving hand signals which is 100% against the rules in any major tournament and has always been against the rules and is known by everyone)

Just because Serena's coach tried to cheat and because other players grunt doesn't justify Maria's attempt at cheating. Maria never made a sound while she was practicing. Her screeches got louder and longer as the match got tighter toward the end. It was a tactic to distract the other player and keep them from hearing the sound of their racket hitting the ball. And she took drugs. Cheat-er.

Azarenka is another one, a scream/wail that would last well after the ball strike and continue sometimes after the other player hit a return. But magically her wail cuts off every single time she hits the ball into the net. Every single time. It’s magic that her maximum effort screech isn’t necessary any more once the ball hits the net.

ElSpewtardo You don't know what you're talking about I'm afraid. It's a matter which has been hotly debated for a while now by tennis authorities and professionals alike and it's widely regarded by those in the know that this level of grunting is not involuntary. It is in fact not grunting at all but screaming and shouting and is absolutely used tactically. Many people have observed Sharapova training and she doesn't make a peep, just like Seles did and Azarenka does, she uses it to affect the concentration of the opponent where as Serena uses it more sporadically to intimidate the opponent when in the ascendancy. You quite often will hear other female players grunting when really exerting themselves in matches but it sounds natural, nothing like this screaming nonsense. The WTA have been discussing plans to try and regulate this kind of thing but are struggling to come up with a way of measuring what is and is not acceptable as a grunt and how to enforce it (i.e. prove that the player is faking it etc.). You shouldn't call people retards when they're talking sense, professional tennis pundits repeatedly say the same exact thing as Joey when discussing this matter... I don't know why you're sticking up for something which is considered to be borderline cheating, bad etiquette and generally really annoying
@richiethepooh687810 жыл бұрын
She does hit the ball as hard in training... What? you think she just suddenly starts hitting it harder in matches? Do you really think players don't repeatedly practice hitting the ball as hard as possible in preparation for when they need to do it in matches?? Again proving you don't have actual in depth knowledge on this sport at the highest level. It hasn't been hotly debated for *over 20 years* so don't try pulling facts out of the sky... it was frowned upon by many in the days of Seles but since Sharapova, Azarenka, Larcher De Brito etc. have come along it has become a hotly debated subject yes, say roughly over the last 5-6 years or so. I'm not making out anything, it *is* a controversial subject at the moment... fact... Most people agree it shouldn't be allowed because it is used tactically but like I said they're still discussing possible techniques to regulate it in future. I also didn't say it was a *cheating tactic*, I said it was *borderline* cheating... it's a very grey area as they haven't yet defined exactly what is and what is not acceptable. When they manage to update the rules on this matter it wont be adios anyone as they'll have to simply stop with the ridiculous blood curdling screams, they'll still be able to play just fine... for what it's worth I think Nadal's grunting is acceptable, it certainly doesn't fall in to the category of these screaming women...
@richiethepooh687810 жыл бұрын
So when tv pundits are discussing tennis issues on tv between matches why when discussing this matter do they say she doesn't grunt in training? Don't know why you're so biased in this issue? are you a grunter yourself?
@richiethepooh687810 жыл бұрын
I'm not a git, you're a biased twat. Look at this video wwwDOTyoutubeDOTcom/watch?v=Qm69TPmPbPo (change DOT to .). Start watching from 9:30, she starts all out hitting at that point and not a sound. At 10:05 she starts making a few small grunts, they'e natural and not over the top at all like the screaming she does in matches. Keep watching to the end and you'll see she never comes anywhere near to screaming even when hitting the ball as hard as she can on the run at full stretch. If she practices on other occasions with the full screaming its because she's practicing for when she uses it in her matches. This video proves it is NOT involuntary so just piss off with your biased views once and for all and take your nose out of Sharapova's ass

I can understand where she's coming from and what you're saying is a possibility. I just feel for her because a lot of the great tennis she plays sometimes is overshadowed because she's not taken seriously. She's a woman, blonde, tall, beautiful, grunts like crazy, and because of that her talents as a tennis player get downplayed often. I just think the tennis community is sometimes overly harsh toward their female players vs. male players. Almost all the top women tennis players are criticized for factors outside their tennis game. Also maybe she grunts because of the nerves and just the mental state you're in when you're playing to win? I breathe differently and think differently when I play to win vs. playing just for fun.

There should be a rule against sreaming loudly on every hit of the ball. Its a form of cheating as your opponent cannot hear the ball being hit and it's distracting. Not to mention annoying for those watching...the fans.

Glad that you mentioned the fans. They are the ones paying her wages. They should stop going to her games, I bet that would stop her stupid howling
you played like one tennis game in your hole life...
I love how the laughter becomes infectious amongst the crowd so that even those trying to stay quiet can't help themselves.
There's a difference between the noises you make when you are exerting yourself and noises you make to try to trip up your opponent. This is the later and should be classified as cheating.
Do you know how many tennis players to this and always have and still do and nobody has ever said a word or complained.... I mean i would consider cheating doing what Serena and her coach got caught doing in the u.s open a few years ago when her coach was "coaching" (that's what it's called) her from the stands behind the oppenent via hand signals and the umpire caught onto it and told the coach to stop and then Serena got all "triggered" and accusing the umpire of accusing her of cheating and demanded an apology from him (which he didn't give) and then she kept rampaging and threw her racket and then kept on going at the umpire and then started talking crap about his family (later the coach admitted that he was coaching her and giving hand signals which is 100% against the rules in any major tournament and has always been against the rules and is known by everyone)

Just because Serena's coach tried to cheat and because other players grunt doesn't justify Maria's attempt at cheating. Maria never made a sound while she was practicing. Her screeches got louder and longer as the match got tighter toward the end. It was a tactic to distract the other player and keep them from hearing the sound of their racket hitting the ball. And she took drugs. Cheat-er.

Tennis isn't ping pong...
Watching her having hitting practice at full pace on the outside courts, not a banshee yell is heard - funny that. She was taught to scream while hitting by her coach in her early teens to help with distracting opponents and covering the different types of noise coming from the ball strike.
Wayne Kerr yes, its very true. That kind of yell is not natural, made to cover your ball hitting sounds which the opponent can use to judge the spin and stroke penetration.
Ken Yap It seems pretty obvious now what you've said but thanks for your comment, I've never thought of it like that.
Seles started it (at least she was the first player I heard doing that)... i used to hate watching matches with her in it for that reason, and became a staunch Graff supporter too :)

Azarenka is another one, a scream/wail that would last well after the ball strike and continue sometimes after the other player hit a return. But magically her wail cuts off every single time she hits the ball into the net. Every single time. It’s magic that her maximum effort screech isn’t necessary any more once the ball hits the net.
Well yeah it's like golf, after they hit the ball, they generally keep the golf club in the air until the ball lands. It's not like she's doing it for fun, it clearly makes her perform better.

ElSpewtardo You don't know what you're talking about I'm afraid. It's a matter which has been hotly debated for a while now by tennis authorities and professionals alike and it's widely regarded by those in the know that this level of grunting is not involuntary. It is in fact not grunting at all but screaming and shouting and is absolutely used tactically. Many people have observed Sharapova training and she doesn't make a peep, just like Seles did and Azarenka does, she uses it to affect the concentration of the opponent where as Serena uses it more sporadically to intimidate the opponent when in the ascendancy. You quite often will hear other female players grunting when really exerting themselves in matches but it sounds natural, nothing like this screaming nonsense. The WTA have been discussing plans to try and regulate this kind of thing but are struggling to come up with a way of measuring what is and is not acceptable as a grunt and how to enforce it (i.e. prove that the player is faking it etc.). You shouldn't call people retards when they're talking sense, professional tennis pundits repeatedly say the same exact thing as Joey when discussing this matter... I don't know why you're sticking up for something which is considered to be borderline cheating, bad etiquette and generally really annoying
She does hit the ball as hard in training... What? you think she just suddenly starts hitting it harder in matches? Do you really think players don't repeatedly practice hitting the ball as hard as possible in preparation for when they need to do it in matches?? Again proving you don't have actual in depth knowledge on this sport at the highest level. It hasn't been hotly debated for *over 20 years* so don't try pulling facts out of the sky... it was frowned upon by many in the days of Seles but since Sharapova, Azarenka, Larcher De Brito etc. have come along it has become a hotly debated subject yes, say roughly over the last 5-6 years or so. I'm not making out anything, it *is* a controversial subject at the moment... fact... Most people agree it shouldn't be allowed because it is used tactically but like I said they're still discussing possible techniques to regulate it in future. I also didn't say it was a *cheating tactic*, I said it was *borderline* cheating... it's a very grey area as they haven't yet defined exactly what is and what is not acceptable. When they manage to update the rules on this matter it wont be adios anyone as they'll have to simply stop with the ridiculous blood curdling screams, they'll still be able to play just fine... for what it's worth I think Nadal's grunting is acceptable, it certainly doesn't fall in to the category of these screaming women...
So when tv pundits are discussing tennis issues on tv between matches why when discussing this matter do they say she doesn't grunt in training? Don't know why you're so biased in this issue? are you a grunter yourself?
I'm not a git, you're a biased twat. Look at this video wwwDOTyoutubeDOTcom/watch?v=Qm69TPmPbPo (change DOT to .). Start watching from 9:30, she starts all out hitting at that point and not a sound. At 10:05 she starts making a few small grunts, they'e natural and not over the top at all like the screaming she does in matches. Keep watching to the end and you'll see she never comes anywhere near to screaming even when hitting the ball as hard as she can on the run at full stretch. If she practices on other occasions with the full screaming its because she's practicing for when she uses it in her matches. This video proves it is NOT involuntary so just piss off with your biased views once and for all and take your nose out of Sharapova's ass
2 and a half months later and that's the best you could come up with? You're clearly in denial, please stop now it's embarrassing... Go back and read my comment which got +6, she doesn't grunt, she screams, ergo bad sportsmanship/etiquette. The day screaming is eradicated from this sport will be a great day for tennis as people like Sharapova who shamelessly care nothing for sportsmanship and fairness wont be able to use it to distract and intimidate their opponents
I totally read that title wrong. She does need to shut up tho.
well...it is clickbait. downvoted
@@Jaburu It's someone in the crowd who shouted Shut up to Sharapova, not the other way around.
Screaming itself is not a major problem.A lot of players grunt naturally.But with sharapova it seems like a deliberate scream.If you look closely,she screams after her shot to put off her opponent,in this case Li Na.

Amen to that person who told Sharapova to shut up at 1:06.
Legends are waiting her to say SHUT UP ! 😂😂😂😂
Fun fact : Sharapova's grunt is louder than a small landing aircraft and just 5 decibels lower than a lion's roar
Measured at what distance?
"Just" 5dB lower? That means Sharapova's grunt is not even half as loud as a lion's roar.
Whoever that was, he/she is a legend.
That guy. Wins. The internet. Hands down!
The umpire telling the crowd to be quiet during play while Sharapova screams like a banshee. Too funny.
I would have yelled “BITE ME!” right back if I was there.
There is nothing wrong with grunting in tennis. But, when you scream to hit the ball and your scream CARRIES on after you hit the ball (a la Azarenka and Sharapova), and up until your opponent hits the ball, then there is the problem.
Sharapova can scream and grunt all she wants, serena would still whip her ass.
In grunting and screaming? Wow that's impressive
Hella funny but i did feel a wee bit sorry for Li Na getting distracted by all the grunting and laughing and shouting.
I always turn the volume up and close my eyes when Sharapova plays :P
KSI?
Imagine knowing a whole stadium is laughing at you for your ridiculous screaming.
Imagine giving af about australians
Imagine knowing the whole stadium paid to see you play tennis
I was expecting Maria to be like SHUT THE FUCK UP!!
Li Na humiliated her at the Aussie SF in 2013 LMFAOOO!!
It's not even a grunt it's a high pitched 'whooooo', after she takes a deep rasping inspiration. I don't blame them for laughing (at her); it's absolutely ridiculous. Just imagine Fedora or Rafa coming out with such rot - at least they give a good grunt when they hit a very forceful ball. This (Sharapova) shit should be banned. It (she) makes a laughing stock of what is once was a great game.
She's the highest paid athlete, so she can grunt all she wants hahahha
I love the grunt. It’s awesome; great tool to use for the body to exude more power to the ball.
All I can imagine is fireworks going off one by one every time she shouts.
It's different for everyone because everyone has a different way to control their breathing while hitting the ball. These noises/grunts really do help. I play tennis and occasionally during times where I need to hit the ball very hard, Grunts help
I noticed this in the gym. If I am on my last repitions of a set, I do start to grunt. It even takes me a few moments to realise that I am doing it. So yeah, I belive some players just don't notice themselves doing it.
what she's doing isn't grunting. It's screaming. You don't need to be that loud to exert power and air out of your body
Crowd sounds like they’re watching a comedic duo
There is a documentary on how the pros are taught at a very young age to yell as they hit to distract/confuse their opponent. Not only does it work but they have been training newer generations to scream even louder.
Sounds unsportsmanlike.
That Dimitrov had to have his headphone ready every night ;D
When you scream like that your opponent can't hear when the ball is hit properly. You can hear that effect in the video. Since the match is fast, hearing when the ball is struck is important since seeing it might make you be a bit slow in reacting. Her scream is throwing her opponent off.
congratulations! you figured it out! thats the point!
And they should keep throwing the opponents off from here on out.
They should start doing this at chess matches!
🤣🤣
I actually agree
Damn, the video in 2005, before 16 years ago! Days went fast
There is no excuse for Sharapova's screaming. Crowd totally justified.
It's good to hear the spectators gave her shit for her stupid screaming. It's bloody annoying and it must get on her opponent's nerves as well
A woman who repeatedly makes a sound like that knows exactly what she’s doing…
The crowd also watches players like Federer, Murray and Djokovic who hit the ball many times harder and don't make a sound.
I know I'd go crazy if I had to watch all full sets with hearing her shriek after every hit.
I always fear that my neighbors think I have a porn addiction because I watch a lot of tennis 😂
Sharapova is in yellow. You could have always googled her...
For my opinion: sound is another element to give self confident as to all the senses are to work so that your energy boost..
There's fact which is unrelated to Sharapova's grunting: this is actually the late bloomer Li Na's first appearance in a grand slam tournament at almost 23, she made it to the 3rd round and lost to Sharapova 06 26 in this match.
She makes the noise to distract the opponent. She got distracted when the crowd did it. Irony at it's finest.
I think they were laughing because halfway through the point Maria's howl changed into something different. She started holding on to the end until the ball was on Li's court. I usually don't mind the grunting but what puts me off about Maria's is that she changes it and often during points. People complain about Vika's but at least Vika is consistent with her howl.
Notice that for most of these sounds, it doesn't coincide with the time of hitting the ball. She waits a half second to make it more interfering for the opponent.
thats the point :)
the peace and quiet, will end in may 2017
anfeild8 I've already muted my TV just in case she comes back sooner.
This sort of grunting should be punished with a penalty point or two…some of the best champions never indulged in this kind of thing…it's very distracting & puts of most players In an intense match it's almost like crowd trouble, strangely women seem to do it more
the point of the grunt is to distract the opponent, its fair game as long as it doesnt sound like a word. its a choice if you wanna do it or not
It says in the description she is playing Li Na.
You all come to see her and get turned on. She is a treat to watch and hear. And, yeah, she plays great tennis too.
She should be banned until she stops doing that. Not even a noise of exertion it's a ridiculous sound to put off the other player. Blatant cheating and she got to the top with it. If she wasn't attractive they would have banned and fined her years ago.
I don't think you realize how hard she's hitting those balls. If you're hitting that hard, you'd be grunting too. She can keep up with Serena and Maria is tiny compared to Serena. Keep that in perspective.
Chelsea Wang She isn't grunting she's making a ridiculous noise. There is a big difference between somebody grunting and going "WOOO!". You can't explain it as exertion it's something she would have had to train herself to do. Grunting is acceptable all players do it. What she does is to distract the other player which is one reason she wins.
I can understand where she's coming from and what you're saying is a possibility. I just feel for her because a lot of the great tennis she plays sometimes is overshadowed because she's not taken seriously. She's a woman, blonde, tall, beautiful, grunts like crazy, and because of that her talents as a tennis player get downplayed often. I just think the tennis community is sometimes overly harsh toward their female players vs. male players. Almost all the top women tennis players are criticized for factors outside their tennis game. Also maybe she grunts because of the nerves and just the mental state you're in when you're playing to win? I breathe differently and think differently when I play to win vs. playing just for fun.
If you're in a match as intense as that, you probably wouldn't pay any attention to the grunt.
I think you're being quite naïve, M CP. Sharapova knows full well what she's doing. It's called mind games

Agreed...grunting is one thing, but what Maria and Victoria do just seems like unfair tactics.
I understand, thanks !
LiNa is very Calm,you are the best!
I don't understand why the women players feel that they have to grunt so loudly. Most of the men players don't do that
most of the men don't do it and most of the women don't do it either. But there are still men and women on tour who grunt. get over it.
sueannwashere So you don't like my opinion. I don't care Get over it.
SuperSaltydog77 lol you're mad. I literally just debunked your post by stating a fact.
sueannwashere your "so called facts" are nothing more than an opinion of a simple mind
supersalty "your "so called facts" are nothing more than an opinion of a simple mind"no they were just facts. learn to be humble when youre shown your errors. everyone is wrong occasionally.
You need to hear Simona Halep
i was expecting her to scream OFFSET
I think she had just started making her signature grunt. At the 2004 Wimbledon Final, besides the minor exhale noise that's barely audible, she was quiet as a mouse on most points.
why is everyone so old i mean they were all already around in the 90s and early 2000s dammit
Gods Maria is so beautiful, note, she not wearing makeup
Literally no one asked
Bro don’t simp
Interstellar was actually about finding out who asked, they still haven't found who.
@@beneyweneys underrated comment
where did she say it?
someone from public said it to her, very disrespectful.
Richard Carrillo No it's not. 99.9% of players don't do it, and the ones that do it are trying to gain an advantage. It sounds stupid.
stevej02 so that gives them right to tell her to shut up? That's her way of playing, gaining a legal advantage has never been a problem in sports.
Richard Carrillo I believe the term is unsportsmanlike behaviour.
id tell her to shut up too ! listen to the state of that !!
"wenns dann eng wird kommt dann noch ne zusätzliche Note dazu"😂
Releasing a loud grunt is actually just as self-enhancing as it is detrimental to an opponent, it’s used in other sports and activities as well to increase muscle use.
Tennis requires agility and stamina more than muscle use though. If you have ever tried a long match of tennis, you’ll notice it takes almost no effort to hit the ball. A lot of coaching is actually getting kids to not hit the ball so card because of how sensitive a tennis hit can be
I would die laughing there if I was playing against her 🤣🤣
You can never play her. You can only watch and shut up.
I don't remember hearing Martina Navratilova, Chris Evert, or Billie Jean King sounding like an aroused dove.
Maria must sing '' whole Lotta love ''..
I played tennis.Those sounds are inevitable because of the effort.Jessus.
1. I'm old enough to remember tennis before Monica Selles started doing this in the 1990s. Tennis players did not grunt before then. 2. Maria never made a sound during her full on practices. Her noises were manufactured and contrived.
i understand grunting when you hit it, cause you’re going at for hours and hours it’s gonna get tiring. but literally soundin like princess peach ain’t right 😂😂💀💀💀
what does the man say at @1:05 to make the crowd laugh? the man says shut up?
Shayan Chaudhary yup
It looks like they’re watching a tennis match and opera at the same time. It’s bonus.
She still WON!
That’s such BS! Martina Navratilova had it right when she called it cheating. It covers the sound of the ball when it’s hit. I naturally make a slight noise when I hit a deep baseline shot and I’m exhausted but like any other player, you could not here it unless you were standing near the baseline on my side of the court.
the point of it is to distract the opponent, fair play as long as it doesnt sound like a word
Yes, they are. This video is from AO 2005 and back then her grunting was quite new for everybody. But now she behaves like that at every tournament but e.g. Wimbledon or Roland Garros crowd doesn't mind anymore even Azarenka does that.
"Whooow!"
She has to realize that her screams are extremely annoying for the crowd and especially to for her opponents...I can understand the fact of a player,after a long rally or a long match close to the end,expressing vocally his tense and tiredness but she screams from the very first point..even if I had a free ticket for a match of her I would deny to watch her playing...
"She has to realize that her screams are extremely annoying for the crowd and especially to for her opponents" Why do you think she does it? :) Grunting does not improve anything, and it actually takes time and energy to do.
@Rare Tennis a little? Ooh please... this is obnoxious
so proud to be australian after watching this video, screaming should be banned
It is banned, but the judges wont talk because if they did Sharapova would make them look bad. Its 2018 now, media is king.
