In an interview with Danmarks Radio, Casper Ruud revealed that the smell of marijuana was omnipresent at the US Open and that it was what he liked least about New York.

He states: "For me, it's the worst thing in New York. The smell is everywhere, even here on the courts. You have to accept it, but it's not my favorite scent.

It's quite annoying to play, tired, and just a few meters away, someone is smoking cannabis. There's nothing we can do about it unless the law is repealed, but I have serious doubts.
