Overview

• Television cameras at Flushing Meadows recorded an adult grabbing a cap from a young fan just after Kamil Majchrzak’s win over Karen Khachanov, and the clip went viral on social media.
• The man was identified as Piotr Szczerek (also reported as Szcerek), CEO and co‑founder of paving firm Drogbruk, which has ties to Polish tennis through sponsorships.
• Following online condemnation, Szczerek restricted or disabled activity on his social media accounts as Drogbruk’s online ratings dropped under a wave of critical reviews.
• Szczerek briefly posted a defense on the Polish forum GoWork saying “first come, first served,” then removed it, according to reports relayed by Dexerto.
• Using Instagram, Majchrzak quickly located the boy, identified as Brock, later met him and provided gifts including another cap, and no criminal charges have been reported.
