Overview
- Broadcast footage showed an adult grab Majchrzak’s cap intended for a child on Court 11, stash it in a bag, and ignore the boy’s plea of “what are you doing?”.
- Majchrzak posted on Instagram asking for help to find the child and noted he had sponsor-supplied ASICS caps ready to replace the missing souvenir.
- Within hours he confirmed, “We got it! All good now,” and later met the boy — identified in some reports as Brock — to hand over merchandise.
- Subsequent coverage identified the man in the clip as Polish businessman Piotr Szczerek, CEO of Drogbruk, prompting heavy online backlash and calls for a ban.
- A purported online defense of the man’s actions was later deleted and disavowed by the named lawyer, and no formal sanctions by tournament organizers have been reported.
