Majchrzak po wygranym meczu rozdawał autografy i jak to zwykle bywa ręczniki, piłki oraz swoją czapkę. Dał czapkę dziecku a jakiś Buc zabrał ją praktycznie z ręki 😡 pic.twitter.com/h6IZRemALA— Koneser Unii Europejskiej (@KoneserUnii) August 29, 2025

Szczerek says he takes accountability for his “poor judgment and hurtful actions” … including he by no means supposed to steal Kamil Majchrzak’s hat away from a younger fan.
When Kamil handed the hat up, Piotr says, he “became caught up in the heat of the moment and the joy of the victory, and I believed Majchrzak was handing a hat to me to give to my sons, who had previously asked for autographs.”
He says he is aware of he harm the boy and plenty of followers … and, for that, he is really sorry.
Szczerek says he despatched the hat again to the younger man and apologized profusely … which he hopes will undo a minimum of a few of the hurt he inadvertently brought on.
Piotr goes on to say, “For years, my wife and I have been involved in supporting children and young athletes, but this incident has shown me that a moment of inattention can undo years of work and support. It is a painful but necessary lesson in humility.”
ICYMI … video went viral final week displaying the Polish tennis star seemingly attempting handy his hat to a child — when a person grabbed the hat and handed it to his spouse.
Outrage on-line got here swiftly … and Kamil truly went on social media to attempt to discover the child. They met shortly after the incident — a once-in-a-lifetime expertise.
Feels like this is likely to be a case of an actual miscommunication … one which Piotr and his household could by no means dwell down.
