Spitting. It isn't just irritating it's downright nasty. I saw a close up of a young "lady" tennis player between sets, slouching back in her chair with her knees about a foot a part wiping her face with a towel and then she leans forward and spits on the ground between her feet. Yuck. Grunting like pigs, aping each other like monkeys, spitting like camels, its just a zoo anymore. You know what is worse than grunting? Spitting. It isn’t just irritating it’s downright nasty.

No doubt Mills will draw some flack for singling out the ladies, who, after-all, learned grunting as an intimidation technique from their male counterparts. But that’s far from all they learned, the days of tennis being a genteel sport are long gone. Too much money involved. The only reminder of what Wimbledon used to be like is audience behaviour. Maybe it is time for the umpire to say “Quiet, please…” to the players.

If they want to act like animals they should go into kickboxing or wrestling or something. That grunting has bothered me for a long time.
