Why don't the judges stop the grunting and groaning?It makes me think the other player is hurt. It's annoying and distracting to observers.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

In this case, it was the judge's discretion that the players screams were a "hindrance" to the other player, although that may have been a bit of an extreme interpretation (see p.22 "hindrance" of Rules http://www.usta.com/USTA/Home/AboutUs/~/media/USTA/Document%20Assets/2007/02/09/doc_13_16051.ashx).
I can't recall who the player that got cited was, but I have a suspicion it was Maria Sharapova (see for example http://www.audiomasterclass.com/arc.cfm?a=how-loud-is-a-female-tennis-players-grunt).

I don't think it's being done on purpose. In fact, I think it's a good breathing technique...
