Overview

• Following a five-set win over Karen Khachanov, Kamil Majchrzak removed his cap to give it to a front‑row child at Flushing Meadows.
• An adult next to the child grabbed the cap and hid it in a companion’s bag, an act captured on camera and widely shared online.
• The clip drew heavy condemnation on social media, with users calling out the spectator’s conduct as inappropriate.
• Majchrzak posted on Instagram that he had not realized the cap was taken, asked for help to find the child, and noted he had spare caps from his sponsor.
• Hours later he confirmed the child had been identified and the situation was resolved, while reports said tournament organizers had not issued a public statement about the spectator’s behavior.
