A US Open competitor has \u2018won the hearts of fans around the world\u2019 after issuing a major update after an adult fan’s behavior towards a child was slammed online.<\/p>\n

The internet has been awash with praise for Kamil Majchrzak, a 29-year-old Polish\u00a0sportsman<\/a>\u00a0who ousted No.9 seed Karen Khachanov in a thrilling five-set match on Thursday (August 28).<\/p>\n

After beating the Russian 2-6, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-5, 7-6(5), the former World No. 75 headed to the stands of Court 11 to sign fan photos and tennis balls.<\/p>\n

In viral\u00a0live TV<\/a>\u00a0footage, Majchrzak could be seen taking off his Asics-branded\u00a0hat<\/a>\u00a0and handing it to a young fan.<\/p>\n

Too busy giving out autographs to other kids, the athlete didn\u2019t realise that a much older US Open attendee\u00a0had made a grab for the cap too.<\/a><\/p>\n

While the tennis player was distracted, a man stole the cap from a child (USTA)<\/p>\n

<\/cite><\/cite>A man seemingly snatched the worn headgear away from the kid and refused to hand it over, despite the boy\u2019s audible protests.<\/p>\n

The shocking video has made its way across the internet, with many slamming the presumed \u2018thief\u2019 as a \u2018bully\u2019<\/p>\n

One X user lamented that the man had committed a \u2018disgusting\u2019 act at the tennis Grand Slam, questioning how anybody could take a present away from a kid in that manner.<\/p>\n

Another typed: \u201cShame on this guy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMaturity doesn’t come with age, but the acts,\u201d complained someone else.<\/p>\n

Majchrzak, who is gearing up to take on qualifier Leandro Riedi today (August 30) for a spot in the Round of 16, has taken to Instagram to give a major update on the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the match I didn\u2019t get to record that my cap didn\u2019t get to the boy,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

The act has been condemned online, with some claiming the ‘theft’ was classed as ‘bullying’ (USTA)The act has been condemned online, with some claiming the ‘theft’ was classed as ‘bullying’ (USTA)

\n\u201cThanks to @asicstennis I\u2019ve got enough caps so I\u2019m prepared for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sharing four images of the child, the icon continued: \u201cHey Guys, could you help me find the Kid from my match @usopen @eurosportpl.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s you (or your parents see this), please send me a DM.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hours later, Majchrzak returned to\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0to give fans the good news – the boy had finally been located.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am impressed by the power of the Internet,\u201d he gushed. \u201cWe got it! All good now,\u201d followed by a salute and thumbs up emoji.<\/p>\n

Fans who have closely followed the US Open saga have been having their say, with one claiming: \u201cKamil Majchrzak won the hearts of fans around the world when he asked on Instagram for contact with the robbed boy to compensate him for his loss.<\/p>\n

Kamil Majchrzak, the Polish tennis player at the center of the social media storm, has issued a major update (Instagram\/@kamilmajchrzakk)<\/cite><\/div>\n

Someone else branded him a \u2018legend\u2019 while a third typed that the competitor was a \u2018class act.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cCredit to the Kamil for not noting why the kid didn\u2019t get the cap. Which I totally would have mentioned because sometimes pettiness is required,\u201d joked another fan.<\/p>\n

A fifth commented: \u201cWhat a class gesture absolute brilliance you need people like this in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now that the matter is settled, Majchrzak can concentrate on his third round Men\u2019s Singles match, set to take place on Court 5 today (August 30).<\/p>\n

If the Pole beats Riedi, 23, he\u2019ll enter round four, which would mark his best-ever result at the Grand Slam.<\/p>\n

On Thursday (August 28), Majchrzak pulled off a stunning comeback, defeating\u00a0Russia<\/a>‘s Karen\u00a0 in a dramatic five-set battle on Court 11.<\/p>\n

Shortly after pulling off what many have called the \u2018biggest win of his career\u2019, the 29-year-old headed over to the crowd to greet fans and sign some memorabilia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
