Rising Portuguese baller Michelle Larcher de Brito made noise and then some in Stanford, defeating Argetine Gisela Dulko 7-5, 7-6 (1) in the first round. The 15-year old qualifier will next face 8-time Grand Slammer Serena Williams for a spot in the third.
But what about the siren sound that comes out of Michelle's mug? I'm smelling Maria 2.o people and it's not pleasant. Are you?

Like I said in the comment from Golovin I like all the WTA players, but yes..thats too much grunting..same with Sharapova and sometimes Serena and Venus.
ReplyDeleteAs a player I will stop the game and ask for official to moderate the screaming in the court. I did it before playing in the USTA and Im talking Men division...it was ridiculous..
Anyhow I guess its up to the player in the other side of the net to said something, in this case Gisela didnt care I guess.
greetings
yeah men can grunt pretty loudly that's for sure. but the shrieks, especially these high-decibel ones, are pretty jarring for the people watching.
ReplyDeletei can't imagine what it must be like to play against someone who does that on EVERY point. aaargh.
Geez. The scream is overdone, for sure.
ReplyDeleteNice muffin top too.
