JUST IN <\/strong> Bernard Tomic viciously attacked by two men in terrifying footage[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n This forced the umpire to ask for quiet: \u201cLadies and gentlemen please, during the rally, do not scream\u201d. But that direction only ensured they would double down, as the umpire once again asked: “Please. Just have the courtesy for the players, please,” while Barty shook her head.<\/p>\n During the match, three-time US Open doubles champion Todd Woodbridge wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter): \u201cNice player Sabalenka but something needs to be done about her noise and grunting on court.\u201d Pam Shriver, another commentator and doubles champion, echoed his sentiments: \u201cSabalenka has 347 different sounding grunts. What a talent\u201d.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

It\u2019s clearly affecting her play.\u201d<\/p>\n Caroline Wozniacki, who has faced Sabalenka on three different occasions, called on players to speak with the umpire if it is affecting them during matches – though the Dane felt that she should only be punished if the grunt is changing point to point.<\/p>\n \u201cI think we have a rule in place, hindrance rule,\u201d Wozniacki said. \u201cI think obviously it\u2019s the umpire\u2019s job to cut down on it. Also if the player feels that it\u2019s disturbing, to go up to the umpire and say so. I think it\u2019s different if someone has the same grunt. We have some players that have the same grunt. That\u2019s one thing. You get used to it. It\u2019s not really a big deal.<\/p>\n \u201cBut it\u2019s different whenever the grunts change from ball to ball and point to point. That\u2019s when you start hearing more the sound. I think it\u2019s the matter of the umpire to say, If you want to grunt, grunt, but there\u2019s also a limit to everything.\u201d<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/72\/590x\/secondary\/Aryna-Sabalenka-US-Open-4950336.jpg?r=1694184240580\")
