Women's Tennis is a Loud, Scary Place

I'm not going to lie, I don't watch tennis. As a kid growing up I'd watch the occasional match and used to play recreationally (I suck, Champ always kicked my ass) but with Wimbledon in full swing, it's easy to focus on some of the biggest stars of women's game - namely Ana Ivanovic and Maria Sharapova.

So while my knowledge of the sport has been relegated to checking out scantily clad women on the Internet, I forgot how LOUD some of these players are. The clip below, from a match in which Francesca Schiavone beat Tamira Paszek, is a reminder - there's more grunting and screaming going on than there is in Hugh Hefner's bedroom. OK, that was a bad example, we know its all an act for Hef these days, but you get the point - enjoy.
