Why do women tennis players grunt so noisily?

[Spicoli]

I dont think Martina Navratilova (sp) was the type to be dictated too on what to wear.Pretty sure her game was solid.

For the large part its a media conscious sports world and attractiveness sells and helps attract viewers.Maybe I was shallow but only started watching tennis after seeing Steffi Graff.Had the nose of toucan sam but god those legs.Turns out she had skills as well.I think the grunting is as much a ploy-tactic or "look at me" issue as it can be viewed as a breathing technique.We see it in boxing alot.Frigging bop-bop Peterson brothers,Michael moorer and his 'swish'.Troy Dorsey was a Karate champion turned boxer and barked with every punch.

Steffi is the greatest women's player ever; only person to win all 4 majors and a gold medal in the same year; won all for majors at least 4 times. But yeah, that beak of hers is something to behold.

No doubt.Tennis is tactics.I dont watch alot but nothing beats a good rally.

btw who was the little squat player from Argentina(??).She played Graff numerous times.Had some huge hair...built like a dump truck but had ability in a big way ??
