Novak Djokovic upset at French Open; all-American women’s semifinal set

Novak Djokovic was upset by the lowest-ranked man to reach a Grand Slam semifinal in a decade, while Sloane Stephens and Madison Keys set up an all-American semifinal at the French Open on Tuesday.

Djokovic, who held all four Grand Slam titles two years ago but is now ranked No. 22, fell to Italian Marco Cecchinato 6-3, 7-6 (4), 1-6, 7-6 (11) in the quarterfinals at Roland Garros.

Cecchinato, ranked No. 72, became the first man to go into a Grand Slam with no wins at any Slam and reach the semifinals since Dutch Cinderfella Martin Verkerk made the 2003 French Open final.
