Olympic tennis became deafening Sunday. Under Wimbledons roof, the sound of pelting rain nearly drowned out Maria Sharapovas piercing shrieks.The event moved indoors for the first time since the 1912 Games, and Sharapova made her Olympic debut amid a din, beating Shahar Peer of Israel 6-2, 6-0.You hear a little bit of it, but its not a big distraction, Sharapova said. When you see the schedule and you see your name on Centre Court, you know that your match is going to get done. Knowing what the weather forecast was going to be like today, I was pretty happy.
