Grunting in tennis is generating more and more complaints from the fans. Most critics complained about the volume and duration of the grunts. But I have not seen people discussing the pleasantness/unpleasantness of the grunts, which for me is much more important than the volume and duration.
Scratching your fingernails on the blackboard can be as loud and long as Pavarotti, but the former is torturous and the latter is soothing.
On the women's side, the most unpleasant grunting belongs to Francesca Schiavone. It is bordering on disgusting and torturous. The least unpleasant grunting belongs Victoria Azarenka. Her grunting has a musical quality in it.
On the men's side, the most unpleasant grunting belongs to David Ferrer. I have not heard a men grunt like Pavarotti.
For me, when I watch a tennis match, the grunts from Schiavone and Ferrer make me want to turn off the sound, while Azarenka's grunts don't bother me.
