Aryna Sabalenka was accused of grunting too loud during the Australian Open
In tennis they put up a front
By emitting a rather loud grunt
Can science explain
What they’re hoping to gain
With this curious audio stunt?

To borrow a martial arts expression, leave her fight Kiai alone.
Really irritating when watching
Players trained to do it tho
I find it quite sexy

Fupp off!
I do, though.
I grunt getting out of me chair

Gwan outta that! You’re only a slip of a thing.

Can you find something else to troll about? This is boring.
It’s funny how we love to watch human bodies perform at their peak but get put off at the reminder of anything vaguely… biological? As if we prefer to keep polished physical displays separate from gross physicality? The grunt is inelegant and spoils the aesthetics, particularly in a female athlete? I suspect the audience will adjust.
her body her choice
