help explain a sentence
I don't understand the sentence :"she would step onto the court and shouts of encouragement would roll down in waves." What does " roll down in waves" mean? Thank you.

Re: help explain a sentence
This is referring to someone stepping on to a Tennis Court and the public responding by enthusiastically applauding and calling out encouragements. The "rolling down in waves" is just a poetic way of painting a picture in words as to the audience's reaction.alysa wrote: I don't understand the sentence :"she would step onto the court and shouts of encouragement would roll down in waves."
