Roland Garros is underway and Novak Djokovic has reached the semi-finals following a win over Karen Khachanov in the quarter-finals.
Djokovic celebrated a 4-6, 7-6(0), 6-2, 6-4 win over Khachanov on Tuesday and reached the semis.
He will now face Carlos Alcaraz on Friday, who celebrated a 6-2 6-1 7-6 (7-5) win over Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Ahead of the semi-finals, Djokovic spoke on the youngster and said: “He carries himself very well, nice guy. Brings a lot of intensity to the court, reminds me of someone from his country (laughing).
“We played only once, 7-6 in the third for him… If it comes to it, that would be the biggest challenge, he is the guy to beat.”
