WATCH: Fight ensues over Sabalenka's headband in Oz

Most of the time, tennis fans are polite and respectful. They stay in their seats, they follow the rules, and they respect the tournament and players. That all went out the window in Melbourne when two women caught a headband thrown by Aryna Sabalenka, and neither would let go.

After winning her second-round Australian Open match against Katie Boulter, the 20-year-old tossed her headband toward two presumably Belarusian fans (one is clutching a flag), oblivious to the chaos it would cause.

Both women started pulling and yanking on each other, trying to hold onto the souvenir. Ironically, neither of the women got the headband because security quickly came to break up the fight, taking the headband with them.

The hype for the fast-rising Belarusian is real. She's one of nine women that could end the fortnight ranked No. 1.

Sabalenka will take on Amanda Anisimova in the third round. Hopefully the competition will stay on the court and not in the crowd.
