Novak Djokovic overcame a first-set blip to beat Russian Karen Khachanov 4-6 7-6(0) 6-2 6-4 and reach the French Open semi-finals on Tuesday, staying on course for a record-breaking 23rd men's singles Grand Slam title.
The twice Roland Garros champion could not find a weakness in the 11th-seeded Khachanov's serve at first, but once he took the second set tiebreak there was no looking back for the Serbian.
"He was the better player for most of the first two sets, I was struggling to find my rhythm, I came into this a bit sluggish," Djokovic said. "I missed a couple of easy shots today. These things happen sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. He has a big serve but maybe doesn't move as well so I tried to expose him and played unpredictable. It was a big fight but that's what you expect from a Grand Slam quarter-final."
