Professional squawkers are tough on the ears

Wow, what a match. I just have to share this experience with my reader.
Serena Williams started strongly, smashing an unstoppable grunt.
Victoria Azarenka replied with a strong howl, which was matched by a high-pitched squawk by Wiiliams.
But Azarenka held her nerve and a delicate squeak sealed the first set.
Williams found a bit of form early in the second set and despite a brave groan from Azarenka, she hit a couple of unplayable roars and snarls, including one 103mph yelp, to edge ahead.
Azarenka had to call for the trainer midway through the second set following what looked like a really uncomfortable growl, but was able to carry on, serving up a majestic gasp followed quickly by a straightforward hoot.
Williams, however, was beginning to get on top and responded with a couple of game-winning shrieks and screams to put pressure on Azarenka.
We were then treated to the longest rally of the set, with the two women matching each other in shrillful fashion - a yap from Williams was met with a caw from Azerenka before a strong bellow was just too good for Azarenka, who could only reply with a weak bark.
Williams now smelt blood and dished up a quite remarkable cackle. Azarenka responded with a half-hearted whoop but could not stop Williams edging ahead as she smashed down a magnificent screech, which the baying crowd greeted with an almighty yell.
What happened next I don't recall. I went for a lie down in a very dark room.
