Novak Djokovic used several shirts during his epic game against former world number 1 tennis player Rafael Nadal and it’s customary for him to gave some of his shirts. One of the t-shirt was intended for loyal fan Melissa Cook but it was snatched by Yael Rothschild based upon the video.

Melissa Cook cries and complained about the incident because she was one of the most loyal fans of Djokovic during his stint in the recently concluded 2012 Australian Open Championship.

The 14-year-old girl Melissa when interviewed by the Herald Sun stated that all she wanted was to add a personal trophy on her “Novak Wall” on her bedroom.

Meanwhile according to Yael Rothschild she did not intend to snatch the thrown t-shirt it just happened that she catches it. She was also disappointed with the reports that she snatch the t-shirt from Melissa.

"When the shirt was thrown, there would have been 20 excited people, all with their hands out," she said.

"After (it had been) thrown, there would have been 19 disappointed people.

"Such is life. I am not sure how you can snatch out of the hands (of) someone sitting three seats away from you with a barrier between the seating," she said.

Djokovic used several shirts during the final.

Mrs Rothschild said she had not seen Melissa cry after missing a shirt.

She said she thought Melissa had caught other items of clothing tossed by the champion into the crowd after Sunday night's epic final.

"She was seen holding his sweat band, his towel and his shoe - not a bad night's winnings."

Melissa denied this, saying she had taken along items that had been caught by relatives during the 2011 Open.

"And the towel she saw me with wasn't even Djokovic's - it was given to me by an official," Melissa said.

Mrs Rothschild said she was a regular in seats close to centre court.

"Djokovic was so gracious to all his fans that he stayed back for a very long time, putting his autograph to the souvenirs of literally hundreds patiently waiting courtside after the match and formalities, T-shirt included," she said.

"And I'm keeping it. I'm a huge fan."
