I can't stand hearing Azarenka and Sharapova scream after every swing from start to finish. IIRC, the first player to grunt/scream throughout thematch was Monica Seles. I think it's starting to cross over to the men's game. Can't tennis do something about it?

The screeching sound from the shoes bother me ALOT more than any grunt.
Djokovic v. Murray has the potential to be a fantastic rivalry. They are two of the top four players in the world and are almost the exact same age.
That being said, I don't think it is a great rivalry yet b/c Murray has only managed to beat Djokovic in one grand slam match, whereas Djokovic has beaten Murray three times in grand slam tournamentds. And of course Murray just has the one major compared with six for Djoker. Murray is already excellent, but if he can raise his game that extra little bit, this will be an even more exciting match-up to watch for years to come.

Um.....Nadal is the same age too; he is only 26. Why are you not including him in this "years to come" discussion?
Nadal is actually almost a year older than either Djokovic or Murray, but if he can stay healthy (a big if) there's no reason NOT to include Nadal in the "years to come" discussion.

Are you serious? I wasn't talking about tennis in general, I was talking about a specific rivalry. It is kind of like I was talking about a Dallas-Houston rivalry and you are like "what about LA?" Of course Nadal is going to be a big factor in tennis for the next few years, but he already has been for several years now. And he already has a rivalry with Federer. I think Djoker-Murray has the potential to be the next big thing...Nadal v Fed was already the big thing.
