At the 2026 US Open, Belarusian tennis player Aryna Sabalenka stopped her third-round match against Kamila Rakhimova due to the pungent smell of marijuana from Corona Park. She described the smell as 'extremely intense' and said it made her difficult to concentrate. The match was paused but she won 6-3, 6-4. This is a common issue for many players like Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev. US Open bans smoking in the venue but smoke from the adjacent public park still enters the open-air Louis Armstrong Stadium frequently.
