Snort acceptable

Re: the debate over grunts and groans at Wimbledon and complaints by some players; perhaps the players might care to remember that the fans pay to watch and express themselves within reason, whilst the players are paid to play tennis without animal noises. I understood grunting was to be cracked down upon, but like time-keeping between points it seems to be overlooked in case it upsets “famous” players.

I have noted that grunts appear to get louder as players struggle on court. I don’t suppose that is “gamesmanship”! JAMES WATSON Randolph Crescent, Dunbar, East Lothian,
