VANCOUVER: Tennis players who grunt loudly when they hit the ball appear to have a competitive edge over their opponents, according to a study published on Friday.
The noise accompanying a hard shot makes an opponent slower to respond and more likely to misjudge exactly where the ball is going -- so it is tougher to hit it back, said Canadian and American researchers.
