Kamil Majchrza posted on Instagram asking for help to find the boy. He said he had plenty of caps from his sponsor and wanted to make sure the child received one.

Overview

  • Broadcast footage from Court 11 showed an adult reach in and take Kamil Majchrzak’s cap that he was handing to a young fan after his five-set win over No. 9 seed Karen Khachanov, with the man placing it in a bag as the boy protested.
  • Majchrzak appealed on Instagram for help finding the child, noting he had replacement caps from sponsor ASICS, and within hours said the boy had been found.
  • On Saturday, Majchrzak posted video of a meeting with the child, identified only as Brock, and appeared to give him merchandise as a make-good.
  • Internet users and some outlets named the alleged cap snatcher as Polish CEO Piotr Szczerek of Drogbruk, a claim that remains developing and not independently verified across reports.
  • Coverage noted intense online backlash and calls for a ban, alongside reminders that it was not confirmed whether the adult and the child were related and that at least one purported online defense linked to the CEO was later disavowed and deleted.
