And just to spit on the "grunting is natural" people -- interesting how the grunters often stop when they don't have time to think. Tonight I have had enough of grunters, shriekers, and ass-pickers to last a lifetime.
ETA TikiBoy defended grunters earlier. It was not a happy night in the Tiki Household.

Damn right those grunters can stop if they want to. The last time Vika and Maria played I don't think they started out grunting. Maybe I'm thinking Serena vs Maria or Venus. Anyway they didn't grunt for like a whole set and then they started. And the men grunt too and I always, always think Nadal's grunt sounds like he's in the middle sex. Which is rather disturbing.
Hold, Roger.

Nice play from Rafa. He deserved this break.
Keep your head in the game, Roger. You can break Rafa right back.

"Rafa" and "sex" in the same sentence...thanks for the nightmares, skyz. Now where is that bottle of gin?

Well, this is a little appalling. Let's hope he doesn't go to pieces. Oh, and maria does not grunt during practice

I'm sorry. Unfortunately I'm out of alcohol. But I do have bleach for your brain, lol.
I love fireworks.

I think I've heard that Vika doesn't grunt either during practice. It's a choice and I can understand when it's a tight point and you're going all out, but for Maria and Vika they do it all the fucking time. I for sure won't be watching the women's final.

No women's final for me either. Just too painful to hear.
I love fireworks too.
What I do not love? Azarenka. Sharapova. Nadal. Gilbert (BG? More like BJ). McKendry. Grunting.

I hate almost everything about ESPN covering tennis and their commentating as well as Chris McKendry too, but she's better than Hannah Storm. I know they will ruin Wimbledon too. I wish they'd hire Lindsay away from TTC.
What a horrible way to start.
Keep focused, Roger.

Blame me. I woke up at the start of the 2nd set (although dozed for the first hour) so Roger falling completely apart in the 2nd set is my fault.
Right? When he looks annoyed everything goes off the rails. When he starts losing and looks determined things are still okay.
Back to the question--I've seen the photos but Feli is still my guy to see undressed. But I would add in pretty much all f the fit guys--muscle tone is just so my thing.
I can't help it--I really like Chris McKendry (and Chris Fowler). I just love these two ESPN folk who were originally given the assignment of tennis and they didn't just go in do the job (like Hannah Storm and Suzy Kolber), they went in and started loving the sport. McKendry's kids now both play (as kids, not potential pros) and Fowler really lights into the jerks on his twitter when they try to put down tennis.
Go Roger! I'm fully awake so hopefully this break means I'm allowed to watch.
eta: oh, as for grunting--a short outburst of breath that comes out in an actual "grunt" doesn't bother me so much, it's the sustained shrieking that is beyond annoying and is just gamesmanship. And gamesmanship, like with on court coaching, should not be allowed. I'm sorry if the offenders can't stop themselves because they've been doing it so long but if your noise lasts until the ball is over the net then you deserve to get a warning/lose point/lose game/lose match.
UGH! Broken right back! Maybe I should just get ready for work so I won't be hurting Roger.

How fucking useless was that break, Roger? By all means let him break right back.
