At the start of the match, Djokovic was clearly not comfortable in the cool Paris autumn, and the Serb complained of neck pain. Mr. Carreño Busta won the first set, further increasing the tension.
Novak Djokovic arrived at Chatrier with a large patch of duct tape around his neck.
He then grabbed his left arm during the first substitution before trying to drop it two games later.

However, despite the quality of the Spanish game, the 2016 champion demonstrated the highest class and defeated 4: 6, 6: 2, 6: 3, 6: 4, ranking among the top four Roland Garros players by the tenth time in his career.
Interestingly, it was Spanish resistance that caused N. Djokovic to lose his patience in the eighth final of the US Open last month: when he nervously struck the outdated ball, he hit the linesman on the neck and was disqualified.
For the place in the final, N. Djokovic will fight on Friday against Greek Stefan Tsitsip (ATP-6). The 22-year-old tennis player easily coped with Andrei Rublev (ATP-12) 7: 5, 6: 2, 6: 3.
In the next semifinal they will face the defending champion Rafael Nadal (ATP-2) and the Argentine Diego Schwartzman (ATP-14).
Clear pairs and female semifinals.
On Wednesday, Czech Petra Kvitova (WTA-11), 30, repeated her 2012 achievement, beating Germany’s Laura Siegemund (WTA-66) 6: 3, 6: 3.
Also in the semifinals was 21-year-old Sofia Kenin (WTA-6), who will have the highest ranking at the end of the tournament, eliminating her compatriot Danielle Collins (WTA-57) 6: 4, 4: 6, 6: 0 .
In the next semifinal they will fight Iga Swiatek (WTA-54) and Nadia Podoroska (WTA-131) representing Argentina.
None of the quartet have won Roland Garros so far.
