Grunting

When did the grunting start? Was it the 80s or more recently? I have learnt to filter it out, but occasionally it becomes so intrusive I join in with the grunting and even shout out the plyers’ names in between games.

“Come on Andy” didn’t help Murray get through the second round at Wimbledon. He grunted a bit, but I sensed his heart wasn’t in it. He certainly gave himself a good talking to.
