Grunting in Tennis

As we tennis enthusiasts all know, women grunting when they hit the ball is practically de rigeur these days in tennis. Apparently, officials are now considering whether to make some rules about it, because some people are complaining. Funny, no one complains when the men grunt... Anyway, I am convinced that the coaches "teach" grunting at Eden Prairie Lifetime Fitness, where I play. I find it hilarious, particularly because the particular grunting style at my club is far from Sharapova's screech. It's more like the Uuuhhhh... (pitch rising toward end of word) that one utters during sex when one is close to achieving orgasm. I truly believe the coaches got together and decided to teach that particular noise to club members so that the coaches could imagine how we all sound during sex! (All of coaches but one are men, and the one woman teaches mostly kids. I don't think she teaches grunting.) Anyway, that sexual grunting noise is fascinating to me. I don't do it; I'm far too private for that. On the other hand, I have been known to let loose with the occasional,"Oh, God!"
