Get GRUNTING in tennis under control.
The purpose of this POST is to provide an opportunity for YOU to make a difference in the tennis world.
YOU and I are the consumers of all things tennis. Your voice needs to be and deserves to be heard. Grunting hindrance is a problem on the ATP World Tour and even more so WTA Tour and on the ATP World Tour that is only escalating and becoming more problematic.
THE PETITION:
Vote IN FAVOUR of making noise hindrance (as a result of grunting), part of the International Tennis Federation’s Code of Conduct.
By adding grunting as a hindrance to the ITF code of conduct, this behaviour would become punishable. Therefore, players would make their best efforts to keep the noise down to a reasonable level to avoid warnings and penalties.
Currently, players have no incentive NOT to grunt…
OnCourt Advantage encourages you to stand up and be counted. Strength lies in numbers.The greater number of people who sign our petition, the greater chance we can have a REAL influence on the decision makers.
It’s time to strike whilst the iron is hot. Tennis officials are currently considering classifying grunting as a noise hindrance and adding this to the ITF Code of Conduct.
