A Polish company boss who faced the wrath of the internet after video caught him snatching a tennis star’s hat from a young boy at the US Open has admitted making a “serious mistake”.
Piotr Szczerek was branded a “jerk” and “the most hated man in America” by people on social media after footage showed him grabbing Kamil Majchrzak’s cap as the world 76-ranked player offered it to a young boy in the crowd, following his five-set win over Karen Khachanov in the second round.
