It is also used to mask the stroke of the player....apparently slices and spins etc are decipherable to a tennis pro very early in their execution by the sound the racket makes when hitting the ball.

They could get passed that if they wouldn't make the crowd shut up during play.

I used to KINDA watch tennis - but the shrieking and grunting has made it intolerable to me.

Back to the topic's orginal idea (No, not the porn part), screaming when striking has been since long in many oriental martial arts used. Apparently the strength liberated with each hit is higher, and the hit is much harder.

I can't say if that is correct or not, as I myself have been trained in amateur boxing and we never did scream at all when striking -though I assure you it did hurt a lot when you landed a good blow-

May be their couch thought the technique could be well translated to tennis, in order to have harder strikes. Probably Skybird can tell something more about this, as he is more versated in oriental martial arts

In boxing don't you exhale strongly at the moment of your hit landing?
