Some years ago, legendary tennis player Chris Evert said, "Some female tennis players are fighting like jesters on the court." We will not get into the controversy surrounding tennis players who are extremely loud when hitting the ball, but we will check how many decibels their screams are. For several years, the queen of moaning, which often turns into shouting, has been the Russian Maria Sharapova, and the Belarusian Viktoria Azarenka also fights quite aggressively at times. But they are not the only ones.
We recently drew the line under another Wimbledon that, with Nadal's rapid farewell, the bizarre behavior of Nick Kyrgios, Dustin Brown's dreadlocks, the ever-present observations virility of Serena Williams, marked again as well shouting on the playground. In this area, they have been the biggest targets of criticism and slander for quite some time Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka and although not everyone goes so far as to label their actions as such cheating, many experts and players are not impressed with this kind of behavior, as it can bring an advantage.
Even more than that, there is screaming at every contact with the ball annoying and disturbing to the audience. Yes, moaning and sighing is one thing, piercing screams and squeals ("pioneer" of this for sure Monika Seles) are a serious problem, as they can confuse the opponent.

Sighing tennis shoes are unlikely to change, however, as shouting is the last thing related to breathing technique. But it is the result of all this that in tennis academies, young players start to be warned early on about such behavior, so that they win as soon as possible rules of conduct and yes the idea of measuring decibels and penalties for exceeding a certain limit would not become a reality on the playing fields. And which actresses are on the list the loudest female tennis players and how many decibels is their scream? The ones already mentioned rank high, but when it comes to decibels, they are not at the very top.
