Two fans fight over tennis star Aryna Sabalenka’s headband
Two fans fought over tennis star Aryna Sanalenka’s sweaty headband following her match against Katie Boulter.
A tug-of-war seemed to be the main event at a tennis match.
Two Australian Open fans were seen battling it out Wednesday over Belarusian tennis star Aryna Sabalenka’s sweaty headband.
Sabalenka, 20, had just beaten her opponent, British tennis player Katie Boulter, in straight sets in the Melbourne Arena when she celebrated her victory by flinging her headband into the crowd.
However, two spectators caught the headband at the same time and spent the next few minutes tugging at the headpiece. However, neither of them were prepared to let the priceless souvenir go.
