Novak Djokovic wasn’t very happy about the fact that someone in the Rogers Cup crowd Saturday was having a little too much fun.
The No. 1 tennis player beat France’s Jeremy Chardy easily to advance to the final, but Djokovic apparently had to overcome a strong marijuana smell to do it.
“Someone is smoking weed, I can smell it, and I’m getting dizzy,” Djokovic told the umpire, per The Telegraph. “Somebody is getting high. Can you smell it? The whole place smells of it.”
Djokovic said he hoped the culprit wouldn’t return to Montreal’s Uniprix Stadium on Sunday for the final.
“Oh my god,” Djokovic said. “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.”
Djokovic also joked he felt he “was playing better as (he) was inhaling,” and perhaps that was true, as the Serb lost Sunday’s Rogers Cup final to Andy Murray.
