I was re-watching the AO 2015 final and realized Serena barely grunted at all.

Any reason why she stopped grunting so much? Do you guys think Serena plays better without grunting? Is it to conserve energy?

I'm asking because I play tennis and I wasn't a natural grunter I was always quiet like Federer and CSN. My coach wanted me to start grunting about 5 years ago and now its a habit I can't stop. Wondering if I should go back to being quiet because I felt like I was in control of my emotions more on court. Gonna do some experimenting on court!
