(VIDEO) Caroline Wozniacki brings back grunt imitations during epic comeback win over Mayar Sherif at Olympic Games

It was a return to the old playbook for Caroline Wozniacki on Sunday evening as she took down Mayar Sherif to reach the second round of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. The former World No.1 imitated the grunt of the Egyptian mid-point during her comeback win.
Wozniacki was 6-2, 5-4, 3-0 down against the Egyptian before coming back to win 2-6, 7-5, 6-1. Sherif served for the match in the second set but Wozniacki was more tenacious and in her fourth Olympic Games continues to shine.
But the moment happened mid rally in which Sherif grunted and like a comedian with quick wit, Wozniacki was quick to return the favour in the same fashion as Sherif. She did it during two points and continued it when they fell silent after the rally.

A compilation was soon unearthed of Wozniacki imitating players grunts most infamously Niculescu last back in 2018 when she complained to the umpire about how she grunted. So this is the first iteration recorded since her comeback to court around this time last year.
Next up for Wozniacki is a player that given the drama in this match could also give her hassle. Danielle Collins is one to show her true feelings on court and no doubt will give it back if Wozniacki tries similar antics. Certainly one to watch for aggro and drama if that is your tennis cup of tea. But the clip unearthed is certainly one to end the day in hilarious fashion.

- I love WTA matches. Seek them out as much as possible on youtube and other platforms I already subscribe to. With that in mind, I do not wish to pay $$$ to a notoriously slippery subscription conglomerate sports broadcaster (like SkySports) just for the privilege to watch it and the tnt/eurosport/discovery subscription went from $$ to $$$+ annually in a blink of an eye. With ATP I have been begrudgingly paying xyz tennis only channel and try to catch up on slams elsewhere (pubs, youtube with USO later on games are just as enjoyable to watch and a smart move to upload on their official channel) but they don't cover WTA. I tried another Tennis dedicated channel that advertised originally as broadcasting where I live, but turned out, they took the money, but didn't cover the matches (only fluff/filler value documentaries). I don't understand why it is so hard to not lock the live matches to one broadcaster only refusing so many people who are happy to pay for the privilege just not through that one entry point. WTA is so exciting for the last few years and they really should capitalise on it as much as possible. And I know it is somewhat naive talking without knowing the inner works, but not being able to find any WTA other than youtube (and then only highlights mostly) is just so frustrating.JayJay11-09-2026

- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026
