Wozniacki Says Players Deliberately Grunt
She said, she said from Tennis.com's "Ticker" on:
"Caroline Wozniacki weighs in on the grunting debate and says that offenders have an unfair advantage by distracting foes when they emit loud noises. "I think there are some players who do it on purpose," Wozniacki told reporters.
"They don't do it in practice and then they come into the match and they grunt. I think they [officials] could definitely cut it. If you grunt really loudly your opponent cannot hear how you hit the ball. Because the grunt is so loud, you think the ball is coming fast and suddenly the ball just goes slowly. In tight moments, maybe the grunt helps them with getting less nervous."
But ...
"Wozniacki's close friend Victoria Azarenka, who is one of the WTA’s loudest grunters, told reporters in Istanbul that everyone should mind their own business and "I can't stop, and I won't."
