The tennis world is up in arms after a grown man snatched Polish tennis star Kamil Majchrzak’s match-worn hat from a young fan at the US Open on Saturday (AEDT).
After the 29-year-old pulled off one of the biggest upsets of this year’s US Open by beating No. 9 seed Karen Khachanov, Majchrzak spent plenty of time signing merchandise, including balls, hats and shirts for eager fans.
One young boy was particularly keen to get a signature from the tennis star, handing a giant ball for him to sign.
Taken aback by his enthusiasm and energy, Majchrzak took off his hat to hand to the boy as he continued down the line of fans.
However, the adult next to him snatched the memento away and swiftly shoved it in his wife’s bag.
“What are you doing?” the boy yelled at the man.
The man appeared to ignore the child, while Majchrzak continued signing autographs, oblivious to what had happened.
The child could be seen pleading with the couple to give him the hat back, but they just nervously laughed before the man handed him a pen.
