Well, it's not just Wimbledon, but the fact is that the grunts that tennis players - mostly the female ones - emit have reached such a crescendo that Wimbledon officials, it is believed, may be forced to take some action.
The grunts are not only distracting but sound really gross! They have been tolerated for a long time. I don't know whether the female players are just following a fashion or they think that grunting helps them to play better or what. I add my voice to the growing complaints from fans, and I hope that Wimbledon, the prima donna of all tennis tournaments, will act to restore decorum to the game.
It's not only fans who complain, but so do the players - the non-grunting ones anyway. Michelle Larcher de Brito, the Portuguese teenage player, was so noisy at the French Open last month that her opponent complained.
