Maria Sharapova apparently has the loudest grunt in women's tennis. Why does she do that? You won't hear a sound from her during training sessions.
There is a growing chorus of critics who complain that many of the top-ranked professional tennis players who grunt when they hit the ball gain an unfair advantage because the sound of the grunt interferes with their opponent's game.
Although there is no scientific evidence to support this claim, research showed that the presence of an extraneous sound interfered with a participants' performance, making their responses both slower and less accurate.
