Getting your player ready...
Wimbledon begins Monday, which can only mean three things: strawberries, cream and lots of women tennis players grunting. According to the Daily Mail, Maria Sharapova’s grunts of 101 decibels approach that of a lion’s roar (110 decibels) and eclipse the legendary grunts of Monica Seles (93.2). Both Williams sisters surpass 80 decibels — Serena at 88.9 and Venus at 85. According to the Mail, tennis officials are considering a crackdown on the grunters. Currently, players can have a point awarded against them if the umpire feels their grunts have hindered an opponent.
