WTA CEO Stacey Allaster will be looking at grunting in the womens game.

“We have a hindrance rule,” Allaster said. “The reality of it is the athletes themselves are not coming to me say, we have an issue. (But) I’m very fan-centric and if there is a number of fans who are communicating with us that it’s an issue, then it’s something that we need to look at.”

It was annoying watching Serena Williams play Victoria Azarenka in the Rogers Cup semifinal because both players have amazingly noisy grunts.

“It’s very difficult to change the existing athletes because this is how they’ve trained, prepared for their entire lives,” said Allaster, who noted that some male players grunt too but, “unfortunately our decibels are a little bit higher Our DNA is different.”

Serena Williams has lost in the second round of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart, which will see Jelena Jankovic now be the number one player in the world. Li Na was the lady who beat Williams in the second round 0-6 6-1 6-4.

Previously, we wrote about Carlos Rodriguez and his thoughts on the state of womens tennis, and it seems he has a point with already four players holding the number 1 ranking this year: Ana Ivanovic, Jelena Jankovic, Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams.
