Monica Seles is responsible for this annoying habit that so many female players adopted over the years. I hope she is forced to listen to that 24/7/365 in the afterlife.

There was a push a few years ago to ban players from the screaming. Was so happy at the prospect of not having to listen to this crap anymore. I never heard what happened to that. Anyone know?
