Overview

• The incident occurred after Majchrzak’s five-set upset of No. 9 seed Karen Khachanov on Court 11, when an adult grabbed a cap the player had intended for a boy.
• Broadcast clips show the man taking the hat and placing it in a bag as the child protested, “what are you doing?”.
• Majchrzak posted an appeal on Instagram to find the boy, then confirmed within hours that the child had been located.
• The player said he has caps from sponsor ASICS for the youngster, as online reaction condemned the adult’s conduct and called for consequences.
• Some reports named a specific individual as the man in the video, but that identification remains unverified and disputed, and there has been no official sanction announced by US Open organizers.
