India, Sept. 1 -- Polish millionaire and Drogbruk CEO Piotr Szczerek is facing backlash on social media after a video of him snatching a hat that tennis star Kamil Majchrzak appeared to be handing to a boy named Brock surfaced earlier this week. Now, X users are sharing what they claim a statement from Szczerek.

Majchrzak beat Karen Khachanov at the US Open on Thursday. The Polish player could be seen greeting his fans after the match. However, as he was handing a hat to a young child, a man, identified as Piotr Szczerek, appeared to snatch it out of no where.

"Obviously it was some kind of confusion," the tennis pro said. According to The New York Post, he further added that Szczerek sponsors his tennis federation in Poland.
