Tennis grunts can be annoying even if you are watching tennis on TV. Consider being neighbors when you are not aware someone is playing tennis near you and grunting.

Poor Dominic Thiem, who has been struggling since his return to the tour after surgery, was practicing at  the Traiskirchen training complex in Austria. Neighbors believed that a porn movie was being shot there after hearing the grunts and called the police. The grunts lasted more than an hour according to reports. Things were fine once police learned Thiem was just practicing tennis.

To make things interesting, Thiem was practicing without a shirt. For Thiem, it’s not the first time his groans have got him in trouble,

It’s not the first time that people have complained. I’ve known that since I was very small. It’s always very funny, not entirely incomprehensible, the noises can get loud and strange.

I trained upper body free, everyone found my body so good that they thought we were shooting porn there.
