Novak Djokovic reached the French Open semi-finals after a three-hour duel with Ernests Gulbis.
The Serbian third seed won an entertaining quarter-final match 7-5 7-6 7-5 to set up a meeting with defending champion Rafael Nadal in the last four.
Djokovic, the Australian Open champion, was never at his best and it was a struggle to get past the talented Gulbis.
The Latvian teenager thwarted his opponent in his first attempt to serve out the match, breaking serve at 5-4, but Djokovic converted his first match point with an ace to reach the semis.
Djokovic will now face Nadal in a repeat of last year's semi-final after the Spaniard thrashed compatriot Nicolas Almagro.
