Maria Sharapova is not the only player who screams loudly on the tennis court. There are many other tennis players like Victoria Azarenka, Monica Seles, Anna Kournikova, Serena Williams… who also scream very loudly.
+ Maria Sharapova, 109 decibels. The Queen is undisputed in screaming. Russian Doll’s screaming has become a trademark, and at 109 decibels, the sound she makes is only slightly less than a chainsaw or a lion’s roar.
Sharapova’s scream was at 109 decibels, slightly lower than the sound of a chainsaw or a lion’s roar.
+ Victoria Azarenka, 105 decibels. It’s equivalent to a teno opera singer reaching a climax.
Victoria Azarenka’s scream reached 105 decibels
+ Monica Seles, 93.2 decibels. The Yugoslav-American tennis player even had two different levels of screaming, depending on whether she was at an advantage or disadvantage on the court. Seles was threatened with a fine for shouting too loudly at Wimbledon.
Seles was threatened with a fine for shouting too loudly at Wimbledon.
+ Serena Williams, 88.9 decibels. Serena once performed the “art of screaming” in a reality TV show in the US. Her scream is equivalent to hearing the sound of a drill from 4-5 meters away.

+ Venus Williams, 85 decibels. The 2007 match between Venus and Sharapova became a classic musical rivalry in tennis. If you turn up the TV to watch that match, your neighbors will probably think you’re a pervert watching lesbian porn.
Venus Williams also screams very loudly when competing
+ Anna Kournikova, 78.5 decibels. Just as beautiful as Sharapova, and just as loud, to be fair, Kournikova only screams when she really has to play under great pressure.
