It is another edition of U.S. Open fans gone wild \u2014\u00a0at least, this time, there were no kids involved.<\/p>\n
As Jannik Sinner celebrated after his dominant win over Alexander Bublik on Monday night, a fan appeared to reach for the zipper on the top seed\u2019s bag before security intervened.<\/p>\n
It is unclear what the fan had in mind \u2014 and he put his hands up quickly in a backing-off motion as soon as security reached for him.<\/p>\n

It comes less than a week after Polish CEO Piotr Szczerek snatched a hat away from a young fan<\/a> following Kamil Majchrzak\u2019s win over Karen Khachanov on Thursday.<\/p>\n Szczerek was identified after the initial outcry and put through the public ringer until he apologized on his company\u2019s Instagram account Monday.<\/p>\n Security stops the fan from reaching for Jannik Sinner\u2019s bag. @alexiuss11\/X<\/p>\n \u201cI would like to unequivocally apologize to the boy who was harmed, his family, as well as all the fans and the player himself,\u201d Szczerek wrote on Instagram. \u201cI made a serious mistake. In the emotions, in the crowd\u2019s joy after the victory, I was convinced that the tennis player was handing the cap in my direction \u2014 for my sons, who had earlier asked for autograph. It is a painful but necessary lesson in humility for me.\u201d<\/p>\n This new fan may be lucky that he was not allowed to complete whatever he was planning, as much like Szczerek\u2019s act, it was caught on video \u2014\u00a0and is quickly gaining steam on social media.<\/p>\n Footage was tweeted out by popular account @Olly_Tennis_, which has over 50,000 followers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Jannik Sinner easily defeated Alexander Bublik on Sept. 1, 2025.

Imbecile,\u201d one fan wrote on X.<\/a><\/p>\n
