Never watched more than a few games of Halep prior to this with the
sound turned on.
Boy does she ever have an annoying artificial grunt!
The kind that lasts until the ball has traveled well over the net
and is interfering with the other player's concentration when they are
making contact with the ball.
Aural feedback that occurs when contact is made with a ball is very
important in tennis.
If that aural feedback for a player is compromised in any way their
stroke production can be affected.
Halep's grunts are distracting and deliberate. Many points she is too
busy concentrating on just retrieving the ball that she FORGETS to grunt!
This provides concrete proof that the grunts are not a natural result of
stroke production.
Just like Sharapova's shrieks.
If the WTA and ATP would enforce a point penalty for every artificial
grunt/shriek, tennis would be a lot more enjoyable to watch and fair
for the opponents.

I think her grunt this Roland Garros has been worse than ever (IIRC one or
more has mentioned it here on rst this past two weeks). If so, then it does
need to be banned.
