Aryna Sabalenka pauses her third-round match at the US Open to complain about the smell of marijuana inside Louis Armstrong Stadium. Coverage says she stops play after reporting that a fan was “smoking,” and she raises the issue with officials during the match.
Both outlets describe the incident as a disruption to play tied to the alleged presence of marijuana odor in the arena. The reporting does not provide confirmed evidence of what was smoked, but it attributes the complaint to Sabalenka’s account and frames it as prompting an on-court interruption. The overall focus is on the stoppage itself rather than on any formal investigation or penalty details.
The two sources present the same core facts: Sabalenka interrupts the match at the US Open, cites a fan activity and the resulting smell, and the interruption occurs within the Louis Armstrong Stadium. Neither source describes the final resolution or any disciplinary outcome.
