We went to a tennis match...

...and an Olympic demonstration sport broke out?

Well, it wasn’t Hungary v. USSR in water polo in the ’56 Melbourne Olympics… in fact, as far as sports riots go, it was pretty lame.

Kids of Bosnian and Serbian descent get into it a little, and we mean little, following the match between Serbian Novak Djokovic and Bosnian Amer Derlic at the Australian Open.



… but lawn chair throwing? C’mon people.

This either speaks greatly to the general dysfunctionality of the Balkans region (St. Vitus Day, anyone?) or to the general sensibility of the sport of tennis… or perhaps, both.

Keep those spritzers flowing!
