Feel-good story of the year!

For you non-tennis buffs, Clijsters took more than two years off following the birth of her first child.

She returned to this year's US Open only by special invitation. I'm not sure she's even ranked at all.

She beat Venus Williams, then beat China's Li Na today. She's in the semifinals of the US Open!

And the best part is, she doesn't sound like she's having rough sex every time she hits a ball!

You know what rough sex sounds like?

But good for her!

JustErin said:

No comment.

I can't stand the chicks that scream out on every single shot. Disgusting.

RodeoSchro said:

And, of course, I'm talking about tennis.

Venus was not a 100% with a knee injury that's plagued her all year so it's not like she got her at her best and it still took 3 sets for Kim to win.

Cool bout the main topic

but This thread can go all kinds a wrong just by looking at the few commenst already made

Mach said:

Do you know how many hits this thread will get if JustErin starts talking about rough sex?

Ben will need a bigger server.

SCNDLS said:

Hey, she was good enough to hang a bagel on Clijsters in the second set.

Clijsters has the kind of power to hang with the Williams sisters.

RodeoSchro said:

Your dirty mind is associating these sounds with something sexual.

Interesting...

JustErin said:

I thought I had washed all the porn out of my mind, but obviously not.

RodeoSchro said:

I work next to a bunch of tennis courts, that shit is so annoying!

The worst part is the people who do NOT hit 120 MPH like Venus Williams, they dink the ball over the net & still feel the need to say "UH!" every goddamn time!!!!

RodeoSchro said:

Dirty old man alert!!

But on topic, she seemed really sweet after her win over Venus, and that is nice to see.

In fact, even Venus seemed to giver her a fairly genuine smile when they shook hands at the net.

JustErin said:

It is pretty hard to not associate it "UH! UH! UH!"

NDRU said:

Another dirty old man alert!

JustErin said:

Erin, you can just GET OFF MY LAWN!!

RodeoSchro said:

It's all good. Can't help you with Clijsters.
I'm going for Serena as always. I'm rooting for her
to set more records.

I imagine if a similar sporting event took place for the highest courts of kings and queens in ancient times, that this is precisely what it would sound like.
Primal.
There is something symbolic ritualistic about the two Williams sisters.
I would never watch tennis or any sport period, unless I suppose it is in its raw essence.
There is something bizarre about the entire scene of these two sisters and the crowd that watches them.
I love the screams shouts. The chi channeled through the shouts.
Its exciting. I suppose why its being complained about, some feel inadequate in their primordial cries. Leave it to those who feel inadequate to hold back and stifle those who are fully endowed. babies.

I wonder if the grunts and shit that men do are just as 'disgusting'...

JustErin said:

It would be, if they were even 10% as loud as the Williams sisters.

Seriously, have you ever watched one of them play?

You know that Jill Jones scream in "All Day, All Night"? The one at 2:29? The one that goes "AAAAAUUUUHHHHH!!!!!"?

They make that sound on EVERY. SINGLE. SHOT.

In fact, most women players do. Monica Seles started it.

Cuddles said:

I think people complain about it because it's annoying & unnecessary, actually.

That said, if you're a top pro athlete, I say do whatever you think works for you, even if it's annoying!

RodeoSchro said:

Perv.

JustErin said:

I find it annoying, not disgusting--male or female. The guys grunt, too, though they are more prone to all out war cries than rhythmic grunts.

Maybe it's because tennis is such a wimpy sport that they need to act as if they're tough.

NDRU said:

Do you grunt when you fuck?

JustErin said:

Nah, I mute it whenever one or two sex-screaming women are playing.

The real pervs are the ones that leave the sound on but turn off the picture.

JustErin said:

why?

JustErin said:

If you don't grunt, you ain't workin' hard enough.
