I've been watching a bit of Wimbledon... I'm fascinated by the grunting from the female players. It must help their game because they all seem to do it.

Fifteen years ago they all complained about Seles. Now most of them do it (granted, not with the same panache). The grunting releases breath, letting the hitter exert more power. Opponents claim that it's a ploy to keep them from hearing the ball hit the strings. Hearing that supposedly lets them predict the nature of the shot.
