Novak Djokovic into French Open semifinals after arm problem

Novak Djokovic is into the French Open semifinals for a 10th time, but he didn’t look 100 percent at the start of Wednesday’s quarterfinal.

The top seed rallied past Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta 4-6, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 to reach the final four.

Djokovic received treatment on his upper left arm after dropping his first set of the tournament and also had tape on the right side of the back of his neck. During the first set, Djokovic shook and smacked that part of his arm. He eventually discarded the neck tape.

He previously withdrew from doubles at the Western & Southern Open in New York in August citing a neck injury but continued in singles, winning the event.
