Interesting thing about Seles. She was at one time threatened with loss of points if she didn't cut down on the noises. She stopped. This proved to me that they don't need to make the noises, they do it to gain an advantage on court, whether this is real or psychological. Even humiliation didn't work with Seles prior to being threatened with loss of points. She once said that a tournament advertised her appearance as the 'grunting Monica Seles'. The person who stabbed her had serious mental issues, he was a Steffi Graf fan who did it so that Steffi could reclaim her No 1 spot. Speaking of Steffi she was a model citizen on court a lot of the time, but I have fantasised about her being spanked because she had a fantastic set of pins. |
