"The excited fan dreamed of adding a personal trophy to the "Novak Wall" in her bedroom. Instead, the 14-year-old stood in stunned shock as the shirt tossed her way by the tennis champion was snatched by a woman standing nearby. "I started crying because I couldn't believe that something I truly believe he meant for me was taken by someone else," the tearful teen said yesterday."

"But Mrs [Yael] Rothschild denied she had snatched her shirt from Melissa. "When the shirt was thrown, there would have been 20 excited people, all with their hands out," she said. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news...

In the video, it seems quite clear that Djokovic intended the shirt for the girl. I would be ashamed to be Yael Rothschild. Melissa didn't go away empty-handed, though, it seems. An official saw the older woman's selfish act and procured a towel from Djokovic for the disappointed teen.

Wow, yeah, that was pretty uncool. There's little doubt where the shirt was supposed to be headed.
