There is wanting someone's towel and there is starting a fight over it as Jasmine Paolini was forced to break one up after her third round thrashing of Yulia Starodubtseva at the French Open.
Paolini threw the towel into the crowd and there was a tussle over it. But instead of allowing them to duke it out Paolini who had security ready to intervene decided neither were going to have it.
Both people who fought over it were left glum faced as they didn't get what they wanted and Paolini who is known as one of the nicest players on the tour decided not to let it play out.
She next faces Elina Svitolina tomorrow for a spot in the Quarter-Finals. A tough tie but hopefully there will be no fights this next time.
