"As we have said before ....... that noise is needless and wrong."

I don't know about "wrong" but I disagree with needless. Most martial arts include a grunt or "kia" when striking or falling that tends to strengthen the core (torso) and focus energy into the strike. I don't see why the same wouldn't apply in tennis or any other sport.

I hear you....... but tennis was played FOREVER without all this noise........................ it should continue without all the noise, imo.

Maria sounds like she's having excellent sex when she hits the ball............. hmmm.

I have no problem with a grund and the torso issue is a great one, but she elongates her noise and projects like a Yetti horror flick.
