Australian gets kicked out of her tennis club for grunting too loudly.

Anyone who has watched tennis at a professional level for more than one set has commented on the grunting coming out of the players mouths. Well get this:

A nine-year-old Australian tennis player was thrown out of her tennis club for grunting too loudly.

Lauryn Edwards was told at the weekend that she could no longer play her favourite sport after a complaint by an opposition player. The Mt Carmel Tennis Club, in Sunbury, told Lauryn's stunned parents, Duncan and Ruth, that the grunting had become too much.

I have always thought that grunting could be avoided. Lauryn, the grunter, does not seem to think so:

"It feels natural to do my noise. I'm not faking it,"

At the professional level, I thought that it was forced to distract your opponent.

The dad, naturally was thrilled.

"They told me to guarantee she won't grunt or she can't play,

How can I guarantee that? She's been doing it since she was really little. She's her own person.

What do they want me to do? Put Band-Aids over her mouth? They made her cry on the court when they told her.

She was in such a state that I had to bring her home mid-match."
