It's not something you'd expect to find on or near a tennis court, but it has happened. In beating Jeremy Chardy to reach the Rogers Cup final in Canada.

Novak Djokovic complained to the umpire that he could smell cannabis while he was on court in that semi-final. Approaching the chair, Djokovic complained:

Someone is smoking weed, I can smell it, I'm getting dizzy.

Speaking after the game, he told reporters that he had smelled it aswell in his doubles match on Friday:

You can't believe how bad it was.

Whoever it is, I hope he doesn't come back tomorrow. He's probably on the seventh sky somewhere.

Yesterday in the doubles match, today again. Somebody's really enjoying his life around the tennis court.

Despite the smell, Djokovic won the match 6-4,6-4, and will face Andy Murray in the final.
