Novak Djokovic has narrowly escaped disqualification in his 2nd game of the 3rd set on Thursday.

Frustrated at missing a break point to Tomas Berdych, Djokovic has smashed his racket into the ground, but he let-it slip out of his grasp before it flew into the back-wall.

Had it hit the nearby line-judge, the Serb would have been kicked-out of the tournament.

In the French Open, the world no.1 Novak Djokovic has remained on course for his 1st Title in Paris, by defeating Tomas Berdych in Straight Sets in the Quarterfinals.

The Serbian Ace, who’s seeking to Complete the Career Grand Slam at Roland Garros, beat the Czech in three sets 6-3, 7-5, 6-3 to reach the Semis, where he will meet AUSTRIAN Dominic Thiem for a place in the final.
