SportsCannabis smell briefly halts Sabalenka’s US Open win as Alcaraz advances

World number one Aryna Sabalenka briefly stopped her third-round US Open match after reporting the smell of cannabis on court. Smoking is banned at Flushing Meadows despite adult cannabis use being legal in New York. Sabalenka went on to record her 16th consecutive New York win while pursuing a third straight title, and Carlos Alcaraz defeated Wu Yibing.
