For years, my husband and I loved watching Wimbledon. Then, (I think it was a female player) decided to give a huge loud grunt every time she whacked the ball. We found that intensely irritating and it ruined Wimbledon for us. We tried watching with the sound off but soon realised that the ‘thwack’ of the ball was part of the pleasure. Without it, it had no ‘oomph’! No more Wimbledon for us.
I tried watching again a year or so ago, (my husband had passed away) but the first match I tried was between Andy Murray and someone or other. Sadly, he was more insufferable than the grunting ever was, made worse by comments from his dislikable mother. I have given up!
