Djokovic wants to weed out toking tennis fan

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic was unnerved by the smell of marijuana smoke on Saturday as he advanced to the final of the ATP Rogers Cup by defeating France's Jeremy Chardy.

During his 6-4, 6-4 victory, Djokovic complained to the umpire about the smell of marijuana smoke. After the match he addressed the issue, which he said had distracted him in a prior match as well.

The Serb said later that the same situation happened to him in a Friday doubles win.
