Grunting Leads to Banning of Tennis Player
In Australia, a 9-year-old girl has been banned for grunting while on the court. The girl, named Lauryn Edwards, was told to be quiet or she couldn’t play anymore. Reportedly, the little girl let loose a grunt and then was kicked out.

Lauryn Edwards has explained that her favorite tennis player is Maria Sharapova, who is famous for her grunts on the court. Like a lot of young people do, she imitated her idol.

Don’t be sucked in by this. There is more too it, and her Parents used it to get Money by parading their child on the Television.
This child had been warned about noise repeatedly. Dont be sucked in by the bleeding heart defence of Duncan & Ruth. They have exploited their Child for some cash.
Now that is setting a good example as a Parent!
