Larry Kart Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Check out the story (first link), then (second link) the actual sounds she makes. Wonder if she's like that when she has sex, if that's happened yet: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/30/sports/t...0tennis.html?hp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gpVtVz0Bm4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceH Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 If she makes noises anything like that during sex then I'd sure hate to live near her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connoisseur series500 Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 There needs to be a cap on such noise if her opponent lodges a complaint. Any "concentration" sport, such as tennis (chess too!) needs a certain amount of quiet. But if her opponents don't complain, then I guess she can do it all she wants. Here's an idea What the fuck? That's horrible. I'm offended. Me too. The bandana isn't big enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's horrible. I'm offended. Me too. The bandana isn't big enough. According to the story, her opponent did complain but didn't get anywhere with the referee. The problem, I would guess (and Larcher de Brito cited this), is that there have been a lot of grunters and yellers before this, and rarely if ever have they been penalized. Larcher de Brito further noted that her opponent complained only after points she had lost. Knowing f--- all about tennis, I would say that while Larcher de Brito may not be the loudest of the noise-makers, there's virtually no way that her piercing semi-siren scream isn't 98 per cent cooked up, rather than a natural extension of genuine physical effort. The solution? Let the Williams sisters corner her in the locker room and beat the crap out her, perhaps until she starts making the identical sounds. Or better yet, tape Larcher de Brito and provide her opponents with copies of her noise-making that are automatically actuated during play whenever they hit the ball. I bet she'd shut up fairly soon, though by that time there'd be no one left in the stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connoisseur series500 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I've been known to scream with each chess move. You'd be kicked out of the tournaments I play in if you do, but anything goes in private games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 That noise would drive me crazy if I were her opponent. Also if I were in the stands watching. I wouldn't stay very long, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
