The Weed of Distraction on the Tennis Court Aryna Sabalenka's recent US Open match against Kamilla Rakhimova was interrupted due to a strong smell of cannabis, prompting the top seed to halt play and request intervention from the umpire.

Players must perform despite distractions that could throw them off their game.
