Ah f**k... looks like the cheating grunting bitch might win by default.
Firstly, they're not grunts. I wish people would stop calling the noises the players make "grunts". It's not grunting. Yelling maybe, screaming maybe, shreiking maybe, not grunting. Grunts are deep low pitched noises.

Secondly, cheating? I didn't want her to win so I'm hardly eager to defend her but how did she cheat?

In the semi final, you dipshit. Taking two injury timeouts when she wasn't injured. And I don't give a f**k what her noises are called. They are annoying as hell, and border on cheating.

You have no clue about tennis, it has been called grunting as a catch-all term since before either of us were born.

Also it's cheating due to the fact that tennis players use the sound of their opponents racquet to help gauge the power and spin on an incoming shot. Azarenka/Sharapova/other grunters use the sound of their shriek or grunt or whatever to mask the sound of the ball on their racquet. Hence why it will be just as loud on a slice backhand as on a powerful topspin forehand even though one requires much more exertion.

The worst thing is that we're yet to see the most annoying one - Michelle Brito is still a teen but has easily the most piercing shriek I've ever heard in my life. She was booed off the court at Roland Garros.

I blame Nick Bollettieri

I'm experiencing the most unusual pain in such a random spot, I don't even know what part of the body that is. Right above the join between my pelvis and my right leg. What could possibly be hurting there?

A) Those two injury timeouts were only available when the independent doctor confirmed two separate injuries. You don't just get them when you want. If the Doctor thought she was faking she never would have got the timeouts.
B) The noises have been declared to be legal by the International Tennis Federation. Any player that feels the need to do it is allowed to.

If it was such an issue it would be banned by now.

Thanks Mr Umpire...how the hell would the Doctor know if she was faking. They still have to come out and assess it which stops the flow of the game.

Hey douchebag, did you note the bright yellow "Get Your Grunt On" shirts being worn by Azarenka's hangers-on (including that dickhead from LMFAO)? I guess they disagree with your hair-splitting.

I think the "pissing down" baton might just have been passed to Brisbane. Rain starting to get harder (and it's forecast to piss down today).
