Looks like these Bosnians brought their ‘Muslim sensibilities’ to a tennis match and became offended by the loss:

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Insults, bottles and chairs were hurled back and forth between dozens of Bosnian and Serbian youths who had earlier peacefully watched an Australian Open match on Friday.

The fight erupted after defending champion Novak Djokovic of Serbia defeated Bosnian-born American Amer Delic 6-2, 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (4) to reach the fourth round.

The two groups of youths — many wrapped in their national flags — had been sitting about 10 yards (meters) from each other, watching the match on a giant video screen, with no conflict.

But within moments of Djokovic’s win, water bottles were flying both ways, followed quickly by plastic chairs.
