It's Getting Loud at Wimbledon and the Crowd Finds it Hilarious

Victoria Azarenka and Serena Williams are dueling on Centre Court at Wimbledon. The tennis has been great, and the decibel levels have been greater.

Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka are battling on Centre Court at Wimbledon and, hoo boy, is it getting loud. Azarenka took the first set 6-3 and they have since played some incredibly compelling, and incredibly loud tennis. So much so that the delicate patrons at the All England Club could not stop from laughing at one particularly loud exchange.

I'm not sure if Serena was getting meta out there while playing, but she let loose an extended scream and the crowd just started laughing at the whole thing. Azarenka went on to win the point and the chair umpire took the momentary break to remind the patrons to quietly snigger to themselves during play.

Earlier in the match, after another well-contested point, Serena got really fired up and yelled "Come on, bitch!" to herself. They had a little spat during the French Open, and Azarenka is now working with Serena's former, long-time coach Sascha Bajin. So this will surely get some play, but it is about Serena pumping herself.

All the vocal fireworks have not taken away from the overall level of play, which has been outstanding.
