"Piotr Szczerek, a Polish chief executive of a paving firm, said he was "convinced" tennis star Kamil Majchrzak had been "passing his hat in my direction"."

(Also the kid got to meet Kamil later on and got another hat from him)
I don't know the validity of that claim in the original picture, but IMO the CEO is a lying sack of shit in this declaration. Look at the video. The way he snatched the hat clearly indicates he intended to get it before the kid could. He knew fully well what he was doing and his only regret is to have been caught on camera.
