A loud grunt as a ball is served down the court has almost become as part of the Wimbledon fabric as strawberries and cream.
But that could all be about to change as tennis officials are considering a ban emitting too much noise.
As it stands players can have a point awarded against them if the umpire feels they have hindered an opponent.
However new proposals to make noise hindrance part of the International Tennis Federation's code of conduct, could mean grunters could potentially forfeit a whole game or match.
