I made a serious mistake. In the midst of the emotion, in the middle of the celebration of the crowd after the victory, I was convinced that the tennis player gave me the cap – for my sons, who had previously asked for autographs. This erroneous conviction caused me to instinctively extend my hand. Today I know I did something that seemed to have deliberately taken a souvenir from a child. It was not my intention, but that does not change the fact that I hurt the boy and disappointed the fans. The cap was returned to the boy, and the family is due to excuses. I hope I repaired the damage caused at least partially. ”

All the alleged statements that appear online are not ours. For years, my wife and I have been involved in helping children and young athletes, but this situation showed me that a moment of inattention can destroy years of work and support. This is a painful but necessary lesson, humbly for me. Therefore, I will be even more active in initiatives to support children and young people and in actions against violence and hatred. I think that only by actions can I reconstruct the lost confidence ”, he said.
