The video surfaced on the internet and went viral in no time, prompting social media users to criticise the adult fan for acting the way he did.

US Open 2025 Cap Incident Viral Video:

The US Open 2025 cap incident happened after Kamil Majchrzak's victory in the men's singles second round over Karen Khachanov. The Polish tennis player was signing autographs after the match when he took off his cap and held it out with a young fan in front of him. The boy, identified later as Brock, appeared to take the cap from Kamil Majchrzak, but an adult standing right next to him took it away in an instant. What really drew the ire of netizens is the fact that the man ignored the child's pleading for the cap with an outstretched hand and instead stuffed the item into a bag carried by a woman standing next to him. The man was later identified as Polish CEO Piotr Szczerek. US Open 2025 Cap Incident: Kamil Majchrzak Meets Young Fan After Tennis Star’s Cap Was Snatched by Polish CEO Piotr Szczerek (Watch Video).

Amid the criticism, several social media users claimed that Piotr Szczerek has reacted to this development with a statement. What was even more surprising was that there have been different versions of the statement that have been released online on platforms like Gowork.pl and Reddit and they have been attributed to the Polish CEO Piotr Szczerek. One of the statements in Polish, which when translated to English, reads, "I did the right thing, I did the wrong thing, I stole his hat because I wanted to, but why would he need it if he already had five signatures from everyone? I also deserved something and it doesn't mean that you should persecute my company because it has nothing to do with it."
