Novak Djokovic defeated Jeremy Chardy in the semifinal of the Rogers Cup on Saturday, but he had to deal with a certain distraction while doing so.
After winning the first set, Djokovic pointed out to the chair umpire that the stadium reeked of marijuana and it was making him feel dizzy. “Somebody is getting high,” he said. “No, honestly, do you smell it? The whole stadium smells it.”
After the match, Djokovic joked about the incident to reporters. “Whoever it is, I hope he doesn’t come back tomorrow. He’s probably on the seventh sky somewhere.”
Fortunately for him, the smell wasn’t enough of a distraction to keep him from victory.
