The 2026 US Open is already receiving backlash from tennis stars as the recurring theme of marijuana odor emanating around New York City's major tournament.
Top players like Novak Djokovic have complained about the issue in the past. However, several British tennis stars, including Katie Boulter, are now chiming in regarding the ongoing problem in Flushing.
Corona Park, which surrounds the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, has become a major problem for the tournament with locals and visitors seemingly smoking marijuana on those grounds.
Weed is legal in New York though, which makes the problem a difficult one to handle for tournament organizers. The US Open has many wide-open courts on its grounds, which allows spectators to walk from venue to venue to watch matches.
