At the Australian Open...

Chairs were hurled back and forth in Melbourne on Friday as Bosnian and Serbian fans clashed at the Australian Open in Melbourne.

The fight erupted after Novak Djokovic of Serbia defeated Bosnian-born American Amer Delic.

Two men were arrested and 30 supporters ejected from the grounds as fans threw chairs and traded punches.

It is not the first year that rival fans from different countries have clashed at the event.

yeah this happens every year. One of the players, the Bosnian one, even asked his supporters to not act violently in his blog some days before the game. But the Serb supporters are pretty full on. They are super nationalistic and really are clueless about tennis eg scream between points, cheer double faults etc. Seems like they are only there to chant nationalistic slogans. Supporters that cheer on their country's players are fine but these guys get pretty malicious. I guess some of the Balkan conflicts of the 90's are still being played out here in OZ by the next generation of kids. Shame.... but the benefits of multiculturalism outweigh the negatives.
