Weren’t the Williams sisters the ones who introduced all the disgusting grunting to the sport of female tennis? They may not have introduced it I guess, but they were the first ones to me who made it so noticeable that to me, it overshadowed anything else.
It is like someone who has a weird verbal tic, and once you hear it, you cannot unhear it.
I was never a big fan of watching tennis, though I loved playing it, but I couldn’t stand to hear that grunting it and avoided women’s tennis like the plague.
I always kind of liked Chris Evert, never knew her politics, which I have always appreciated. Can’t say the same of Navratilova from the same era, who I always disliked and suspected of using steroids.
agree with everything you said.
Monica Seles did that.
