MARIA SHARAPOVA has revealed her throat hurts because of her constant grunting on the tennis court.
Sharapova broke on to the scene when she was just 16 and claimed her first Wimbledon title at the age of 17.
But she revealed she has been dealing with the effects of her on-court shrieks since she was young.
She told Tennis World: "From all that grunting even my throat hurts.
"I have done that since I was a young girl and just kind of stayed with me.
"My throat hurts all the time after I play matches."
Sharapova has not played since losing to Serena Williams in the US Open in August and has switched her attention to her side business — a sweets company called 'Sugarpova'.
The Russian, 32, has revealed she has let out decibel-busting whines since she was young.
