Novak Djokovic Discusses Marijuana Odor on Court at 2015 Rogers Cup
For the second time in as many days, Novak Djokovic said the smell of marijuana affected him at the Rogers Cup. This time, however, he was able to prevail.
The world No. 1 earned a 6-4, 6-4 win over Jeremy Chardy in their semifinal Saturday despite complaining about the smell inside the arena throughout the match.
"Someone is smoking weed, I can smell it. I am getting dizzy," Djokovic told the umpire after the first set, according to the Telegraph.
It was the second straight Djokovic match affected by alleged marijuana smoke. He also complained of the smell during his and Janko Tipsarevic's doubles loss to Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Daniel Nestor on Friday.
"Yesterday in the doubles match, today again," Djokovic said. "Somebody's really enjoying his life around the tennis court."
Djokovic will attempt to earn his seventh championship of the calendar year Sunday against Andy Murray. There is no word on whether the alleged culprit has been found, but Djokovic made it clear he hopes he or she is not in attendance for the final.
"Oh, my God," Djokovic said, per Fox Sports. "You can't believe how bad it was. Whoever it is, he's pretty high and I hope he doesn't come back tomorrow because it's a pretty bad smell. I didn't enjoy it much."
Given the way Djokovic has been playing in 2015, Murray might want to open up an independent investigation of his own and make sure the culprit does make the trip. If Murray's able to pull off the victory, we may have just found Djokovic's kryptonite.
