TORONTO, Aug. 17 (UPI) -- It wasn't the same smell of grass tennis star Novak Djokovic was familiar with Saturday.

During his match against Jeremy Chardy at the Rogers Open, Djokovic complained to an umpire that the stadium smelled of marijuana.

"Somebody's getting high," Djokovic said. "No, honestly... The whole stadium smells."

Djokovic would beat Chardy 6-4, 6-4, but later lose in three sets to Andy Murray in Sunday's final.

"You can't believe how bad it was," Djokovic said, according to Fox Sports in Australia. "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."
