Police had to use pepper spray to subdue three spectators and ejected five fans off the grounds at the AO.<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Qg6J04XZhR4/R40dqdOAmlI/AAAAAAAABEk/I4tGu6Ir3u4/s1600-h/pepper%2Bspray%2B2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Qg6J04XZhR4/R40dqdOAmlI/AAAAAAAABEk/I4tGu6Ir3u4/s320/pepper%2Bspray%2B2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155809763644185170" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">Last year, Croatian and Serbian fans clashed at the same tournament , by using sticks and flag poles, which resulted 150 spectators being ejected off the tournament during it's first day of the 2007 AO.<br /><br />The organizer should beef up on their security and ensure no such hooliganism acts in the</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> future. Fans should understand that there is no place for violence in tennis.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Moving on to some lighter note, it seems that nothing goes wrong with Roger Federer all these while until he wears the new <a href="http://www.downthelinetennis.com/2008/01/fashion-fix-darth-federer-returns.html">Nike Black Collection</a> since last US Open.<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Qg6J04XZhR4/R40d59OAmmI/AAAAAAAABEs/AF8a2gK_qUI/s1600-h/b_federer_0115.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Qg6J04XZhR4/R40d59OAmmI/AAAAAAAABEs/AF8a2gK_qUI/s320/b_federer_0115.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155810029932157538" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">He looks nothing but like a football referee.<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Qg6J04XZhR4/R40eFdOAmnI/AAAAAAAABE0/MGIIGH6xu7Y/s1600-h/collina.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Qg6J04XZhR4/R40eFdOAmnI/AAAAAAAABE0/MGIIGH6xu7Y/s320/collina.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155810227500653170" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">Maybe I am wrong.
