Wimbledon 2011 is here, and with that another grand slam that Wozzy fails to win. I'm betting on a quarterfinal knockout this year.

I know you've all been waiting for my Wozzy update, so here goes. She's on to round 3 after beating Razzano. :yeah:

The tennis powers that be are trying to get rid of the screaming/moaning women do when hitting the ball. ratings are going to plummet.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

How are they going to do it?  Are the refs going to keep count, and issue penalties once the count of moans exceeds a limit?

Don't know how tennis refing works (don't actually watch tennis). But maybe make it a fault like the one they get when serving (they have two chances, right?)

If they're serious about it, they shouldn't impose any in-match penalty, but rather hit players with monetary fines.

They definitely should.  Grunting like a monkey in labor is not sexy at all.

Some of the squeakier ones are kind of cute.

I suspect the cute ones tend to get overpowered on volleys frequently.

I don't get it, but I chuckled anyway.  :blush:

I can't watch tennis where they are constantly grunting. It sounds completely retarded and extremely non-sexy.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Wozniacki - Gajdosova is very silent compared to the Sharapova match. Also somewhat boring, though.
