After a number of starts and stops, the quarterfinals at the 2016 French Open finally concluded Thursday.

Top seeds Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams each advanced, and Dominic Thiem and Kiki Bertens set themselves up for potential upset bids in the semis.

Djokovic progressed to his sixth consecutive French semifinal with a breezy 6-3, 7-5, 6-3 win over seventh-seeded Tomas Berdych.

The three-set triumph was a generally clean, uneventful affair, with Djokovic outclassing a solid match from Berdych. The world No. 1 picked up 30 winners against 22 unforced errors, dominating on his serve and taking advantage of his opponent's limited mistakes.



Berdych gave Djokovic only eight break opportunities in three sets, and the Serb converted six. Berdych, who was looking for his second career French semis (2010), did make 28 unforced errors and double faulted three times.

The match had a brief stoppage for rain, but Djokovic coasted to his ninth straight Grand Slam semifinal.

The closest Djokovic came to losing actually came when he tossed a racquet in frustration and nearly hit a line judge, as noted by BBC Tennis:



The world No. 1 will face No. 13 seed Thiem, who reached his first Grand Slam semifinal with a 4-6, 7-6 (7), 6-4, 6-1 win over David Goffin.

After a hard-fought first set that saw Goffin convert all three of his break-point chances, Thiem battled back in the second despite 22 unforced errors and earned a 9-7 tiebreak win that changed the course of the match.

Thiem took an advantage at 6-4 in what was the cleanest set of the match. The burgeoning youngsters combined for just 10 unforced errors, but Thiem took control on the back of a 15-7 advantage on winners...
