Sharapova's 'grunt-o-meter' clash at Wimbledon
World number one Maria Sharapova, who is famed for her grunting on court, takes on Sabine Lisicki at Wimbledon today - the tennis player who accused her own second round opponent, Bojana Jovanovski, of grunting so loudly it was "off-putting".
Lisicki, 22, from Germany, complained to umpire Mariana Alves about the noise during their match last week.
The Women's Tennis Association are currently reviewing plans to drive "excessive grunting" out of the game for future generations.
The pair will meet on Court One at 1pm this afternoon.
