Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz will square off in a blockbuster French Open semi-final. Djokovic, chasing a third French Open crown and record 23rd men’s Grand Slam singles title, recovered from dropping his first set of the tournament to defeat 11th seed Karen Khachanov 4-6, 7-6 (7/0), 6-2, 6-4. 

The 36-year-old Serb is in his 12th Roland Garros semi-final—his 45th at the majors—and faces Alcaraz for a place in the final after the World No. 1 thrashed 2021 runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets.
