Same. I've never been bothered by the grunting or whatever players do, I mean, I really like players like Sharapova and Azarenka and can watch most of their matches every day with no problem. I also like Sabalenka, I think she can be great, I try to watch her as much as I can and her grunting won't keep me from doing it, but I'd be lying if I say her grunting isn't a bit annoying, especially when she's clearly using it to bother her opponents.

Disagree. Either all or no one of them are OK.

Just start pinging her for hindrance.
She'll stop immediately.
And then she'll whine in the press conference after and to the media, who will say "hurrrrr sexist!!11"
You can't win these days.

She isn't any louder than Shriekopova tbh.
Just because Shriekopova has won more doesn't mean she should get different rules. Either You're ok with all players grunting or you're not.
They're all doing it for gamesmanship purposes. There is a "hindarnce rule" saying that a point should be replayed if "a player is hindered … by either an unintentional act of the opponent or something outside the player's own control."

This rule in theory should apply to grunting but the authorities are too scared to enforce it.

She is not louder than de brito
She's the loudest I've ever heard. There's another video on YT I think where it's her against Sharapova at Wimbledon. Absolute torture.
