One of the most exciting matches of this year’s US Open didn’t take place on the court. Instead it all went down in the stands, and took place between some mouthy young guy, and essentially all of the people sitting near him.
The fight broke out during a match between the third-seeded, Novak Djokovic of Serbia and Phillipp Petzschner of Germany.
A young guy gets into a shouting match with a woman sitting near him. After they exchange words, an older man steps in to try and place the young guy in what appears to be some sort of headlock – and that’s when it starts to get pretty crazy.
The old dude falls over some seats, and then the woman slaps the young guy. He tries to get away from the situation, but other people in the stands prevent the young guy from leaving until security arrives.
Watch:
Though the crowd begins calling for the young guy to get kicked out, TMZ reports that ultimately no arrests were made.
Djokovich won the match.

Did you even watch the video? The old guy attacked the young man and fell backwards, he wasn’t pushed. The woman punched the young guy. You have it backwards.
for real Heather B, what kind of journalist are you if thats the description you got from watching this video! The argument was over between the guy and the woman and then the senior citizen attacked the guy!!!
I freakin’ love the US Open. I remember attending in 2001, and Neil Patrick Harris being in the stands on balmy September evening… Every time it got quiet during change overs this one dude would shout: “DOOGIE HOWSER…” Neil left. Hysterical.
Absolutely wrong. The young guy went after no one. And simply defended himself. Got to get this stuff right.
heather…prepare for hell the next few days
Heather this is a serious question: are you retarded? Did you even bother to watch the video? The old man and his ugly wife clearly attacked the young guy. If the old man fell thats his friggen fault. Its his right as an American citizen to defend himself when some thrill seeking dinosaur wants to nostalgia from his days in the Civil War. What kind of journalist are you? Bitch.
Dear Heather B,
You are incredibly incompetent. Never before have I seen such a lousy and mismatching description of a video. May I suggest you complete a secondary education before attempting journalism.
COME ON! watch the fucking video
u r gonna get the Anonymous fury on u lady
I’m 12 years old and what is this?
Heather, are you blind? Both the old man and woman assaulted the young guy, he had every right in the world to defend himself.
I hope he sues the attackers.
Cunt get back in the kitchen and let the video watching over to men
The young guy throws the old dude down some stairs, and then roughs up the woman a little. He tries to flee, but other people in the stands prevent the young guy from leaving until security arrives.
THIS IS THE MOST RETARDED THING I’VE EVER READ.
They clearly both fell over. There was no “throwing” involved.
The woman went to physically assault the man and he pushes her away after having got up from falling down the stairs to prevent injury to himself.
THERE IS NO OBVIOUS ATTEMPT TO FLEE.
ARE YOU MAD CAN YOU NOT SE HIM STANDING THERE, STILL WITH HIS CHIVALRY AND USING VERBAL METHODS RATHER THAN PHYSICAL.
Also, it is evident that the others who intervened were the ones roughing the youth up for his attempt at self defence.
How did you become a news writer. Are you Blind or do you have traits of cerebral palsy.
I hope i do not offend any mentally handicapped people, but are you frikking retarded? There are at least 2 Videos of this incident and STILL you could not be further off with your description of what we can all CLEARLY SEE.
1.) Woman and the young guy argue
2.) Woman slaps the guy. He does nothing (other than arguing more)
3.) guy sits down, probably curses a bit
4.) old guy suddenly comes at the young on and attacks him.
5.)they trip
THATS IT
Honestly Heather? Did you bother doing the slightest piece of investigation? In another video, you can see that the woman, to put it politely, slapped the young man, who then, despite the fury EVIDENT in his face, just laughed it off.
That by itself deserves praise, as it’s already a heated situation, and hitting someone back is the instinctive thing to do. But he didn’t. So then, Chubby and Pop head back to their seats, the Scout takes his seat again, and then Pop comes over, jumps him, grabs his face, and then falls over one or two rows of seats.
The young guy climbs off, tries to go back to his seat, where the woman goes for him, and tries to grab his neck, so he pushes her off.
Then everyone JUMPS on him! Were they all blind? Are YOU!? Are we to take it that because the woman is a woman and because the guy is old they should never have physical force used upon them? Completely ridiculous.
This guy instigated nothing, acted only in self defense, and was crucified for it. I suggest you owe several apologies. One to the young guy, and the rest to your readers, for doing such a shoddy job at this.
Never in my life have I read such a terrible article before. Did you not watch the video at all? I am personally offended that just because a old man and a woman were involved that means they were at no fault. Like Chris Hansen said I think you owe us 2 apologies. One for doing such a shitty job at journalism and another one for providing false information.
The old couple had no right to physically assault the guy, the proper thing to do would’ve just been to ignore him and keep your cool, instead the woman slapped him for no reason, multiple times and the old guy even tried to gouge his eyes out, which is completely uncalled for and whatever happened to him after that would have been what he deserves. And even then the young man kept his cool and tried to just push him off and also the woman who tried to attack him again. And then of course the crowd would have some old bastard try to be a hero and assault the young man AGAIN while having NO association to what is going on at all. I hope the young man sues them all out of their retirement homes.
Seriously this is what you call journalism? even bothered to watch the video?
You must be crazy or delusional heather, if anyone presents you with an opportunity in journalism it will be the end of the world. Ive never read something that made me hate the publisher more. Obviously you are as biased, maybe more, than Glen Beck.
Commence crawling in a hole.
OP here. This cunt is dumb.
Seriously lady, watch the video before you post libel and slander as such. You are easily as liable in a court of law for your words as the older people in this video are for acting like children.
Heather… oh poor Heather. Have fun.
This is whats wrong with news today. People like you Heather. We (the readers) trust you to bring us facts but you water down the truth and bring us lies. I was disgusted after reading this article.
Hey guys sorry about the article. Heres all my personal information to make up for it.

In another video somebody started filming earlier you can clearly see the woman slapping him, but he doesn’t lay a finger on her.
After he sits down and they walk away the old man walks back and is the one who made the first move.
The young man then reacted the same way most people would and fought back.
Sure he’s a douchebag but he didn’t get violent until they did. In my opinion that older couple are the ones at fault.
Wow… Heather B., you are definitely NOT a journalist. Have you not seen the videos. The guy shouldnt have been cursing, but the senior citizen should not have assaulted him, and his wife should not have slapped him. The guy showed complete self control.
Why don’t you actually watch the videos, Heather.
The younger guy may have been cursing and being obnoxious, but the lady and elderly man initiated the physical violence. THEY assaulted HIM.
Instead of calmly getting up and finding someone to complain to about this man’s behavior, the woman irrationally starts an argument with him and completely loses her cool.
what kind of nigga is Heather /B/? clearly don’t know what the fuck is going on. two old people attack someone and omg, the guy being attacked BEST GET ARRESTED!!! wtf??? I hope the old guy had a cardiac ARREST!
(aahahahaha, niggerS)

there is the video with the slap….
get real heather, learn how to report….
Heather B you must be blind. Or a shitty journalist. Or both.
way to fail at reporting Heather. try actually paying attention to whats going on before you write a report.
awesome article, 2 bad its all wrong and every little freaking facts is upside down, good luck on ur career in journalism lady cos your gonna need it
Son, You shouldn’t be reading bad journalism at your age. Go back to your room and study or you might end up being a terrible reporter like this poor girl.
Heather B. bringing you biased reporting!
bad journalism is bad
What the hell? That lady started the fight, she slapped him and the old dude punched the guy, what is wrong with you Heather?
jesus christ whoever wrote this piece of news is drooling mongoloid
Watch the WHOLE video before you post your article , the Guy DID NOTHING, it where the old folk who physically escalated and they should be prosecuted for that.
I don’t care if they where old, old people think they can get away with early everything because of their age.
Respect for this young dude for not giving in at hitting back, although he was completely in his right.
It’s happened to us all..a big mouth puke bothering everyone and all the proper people just sit and take it. They won’t want to risk arrest or embarassment. Yeah the old man tried to do something, good for him. If anyone bad mouths my wife they seriously should duck.
Let me apologize for my shitty reporting. Truth is I was top of my Journalist class at University of Phoenix online so I thought I could handle a story as complex as this one. Guess I will just go back to sucking scabby dicks in subway bathrooms.
Just another example of sexism at work in our nation…If that was a guy hitting someone, he would have been arrested. This double standard is completely out of control.
I think I’ll stick to more peaceful spectator sports like English football and hockey.
Seriously, what could they have possibly been arguing about?
nice
