US Open Fan Gets Shamed After Stealing Cap From Child, Player Makes It Right [WATCH]

Polish tennis player Kamil Majchrzak has reunited with a young fan after a viral incident in which a man grabbed a souvenir cap the athlete had intended to give to the boy following his second-round victory at the US Open.

The 29-year-old Majchrzak, who pulled off the biggest win of his career by defeating ninth seed Karen Khachanov in a five-set thriller on Thursday, was seen removing his cap and attempting to hand it to a child in the crowd on Court 11.

A video of the moment showed an adult fan standing nearby reaching out first, taking the cap, and placing it in his bag. The child, appearing visibly upset, asked “what are you doing?” as Majchrzak walked away unaware of the exchange.

The footage quickly spread online, prompting criticism of the unidentified man and calls for the cap to be returned to its intended recipient.

Fans on social media labeled the individual “selfish” and “a jerk” for taking what was meant to be a keepsake for the child.

Majchrzak addressed the incident on Instagram the following day, appealing to his followers to help locate the boy.

“After the match I didn’t record that my cap didn’t get to the boy,” he wrote.

The resolution capped a dramatic 24 hours for Majchrzak, whose victory over Khachanov had already drawn significant attention.

Majchrzak defeated the Russian in a match lasting four hours and 37 minutes, rallying from two sets down to claim a 2-6, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-5, 7-6(5) win.

The result marked his first career victory over a Top 10 opponent and equaled his best-ever run at the US Open by advancing to the third round.

Khachanov appeared in full control early, breaking twice to take the opening set before narrowly winning the second in a tiebreak.

However, errors began to appear in his game as Majchrzak fought back, taking the third set and then breaking late in the fourth to level the match.

In the deciding set, Khachanov built a 5-3 lead and served for the match, holding three match points.

Majchrzak saved them all, breaking serve to stay alive. Khachanov had two more match points in the following game, but Majchrzak again held firm to push the contest into a final tiebreak.

The Pole quickly gained the upper hand in the breaker and maintained his composure to complete a comeback win 10-5.

“This is the biggest win of my career,” Majchrzak said afterwards.

“It shows I can compete with the very best and gives me so much belief.”

Majchrzak’s next match will be against Swiss qualifier Leandro Riedi, ranked No. 435 in the world, who advanced to the third round after upsetting 19th seed Francisco Cerundolo.

A win would send Majchrzak into the fourth round of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in his career.
