According to some of the biggest culprits of this "howling" (Sharapova, Williams sisters, etc) it's a release of energy at the time of hitting the ball that they cannot control.

Anarenka( spelling?) was in full howling form last night. She literally does it on EVERY single shot. I think I'd go crazy if I was watching it live....at least watching it on TV I can turn down the volume.

LOL... my wife asked me if that was really her screaming like that or was it some kind of an echo!

It's very annoying to say the least...

The men's finals are amazingly awesome so far ...

I love the Open -- the loud crowd, the planes flying overhead. Never a dull moment.

LOL... I just tell myself it's the racket string cutting through the air and impacting the ball. If I thought it was the girls making the noise I'd probly want to marry one of them.

Serena and Venus are very quiet compared to some others...I wouldn't even mention them as culprits.

Andy Murray won his first Grand Slam. A one hit wonder, just like the other Andy?
