Tennis star Kamil Majchrzak responds to video of boy having his cap snatched at US Open | US News

Tennis star Kamil Majchrzak has responded to footage of a boy having his cap snatched from him in the crowd at the US Open this week.

Majchrzak signed balls and towels for fans at Flushing Meadows after beating Russia’s Karen Khachanov on Thursday.

After interacting with several supporters, Majchrzak took his cap off and gave it to a young boy in the crowd.

Within seconds, however, a man standing next to him grabbed it from his hands and put it in a bag that a woman next to him was holding.

It is not clear whether the man had any connection to the boy.

After the incident was captured on camera, Majchrzak posted the footage on his Instagram, asking his followers to help him track down the boy.

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

“Thanks to @asicstennis I’ve got enough caps, so I’m prepared for that. Hey guys, could you help me find the kid from my match. If it’s you (or your parents see this), please send me a DM.”

A short time later, he posted again to say he had traced the young fan.

“I am impressed by the power of the Internet. We got it! All good now.”

Meanwhile, Emma Raducanu was beaten in straight sets by Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan.

Elsewhere at the US Open, a couple got engaged in the crowds as world number one Aryna Sabalenka beat Leylah Fernandez.

The proposal was captured on the big screen to great applause from spectators.
