'I Try To Give Something To A Kid & The Adult...': Iga Swiatek Indirectly Criticizes Polish Millionaire Piotr Szczerek Over Viral US Open 2025 Incident; Video

Polish Tennis star Iga Swiatek indirectly took a brutal potshot at millionaire Piotr Szczerek for cruelly snatching the cap from a kid during the US Open 2025 match between Kamil Majchrzak and Karen Khachanov. Swiatek said she does get upset when she tries to give any object to a kid and the adult snatches it.

The incident during the match between Majchrzak and Khachanov attracted the spotlight. With Majchrzak signing autographs after the match, he tried to give a cap to a kid but Szczerek cruelly snatched it, leaving the young fan crestfallen. After intense criticism, Szczerek apologised for it and Majchrzak was also able to locate the same kid to give him the cap.

A reporter asked Swiatek the below question during the presser:

"Is it strange that people want your sweaty towel so much?"

The 24-year-old responded:

No, because I would love to have a sweaty towel of Rafa's when I was a kid. Sometimes its strange when I try to give something to a kid and the adult grabs it. Then I'm like come on, 'That's not the point'.

"I asked him to book a practice court for 10 minutes" - Iga Swiatek

Swiatek, who beat Ekaterina Alexandrova in straight sets quite convincinly, broke her silence when she was found texting her coach while waiting for the on-court interview. The youngster said, as quoted by Sportstar:

"I asked him to book a practice court for 10 minutes, if possible. I would say the intensity and focus."

Speaking about her performance, she stated:

In the beginning, I felt like she played fast, and the court was different. I wanted to find my rhythm afterwards, and I was in my bubble. I forced the ball to go in. I’m happy with the quality."

Swiatek had won the Wimbledon title this year and will be keen to add another Grand Slam title to her collection.
