The 20-year-old was the model of consistency as he claimed a 6-3 6-3 6-3 victory over the unseeded Russian in just two hours and 12 minutes on Philippe Chatrier court.

Andreev was the architect of his own downfall and often looked mystified at the amount of mistakes he was making.

He was broken in his first service game of each set, and four times in all, as Djokovic set up a semi-final showdown with either Nadal.

The Serbian broke in the first and eighth games of the first set, before taking it when Andreev smashed a forehand into the bottom of the net on the first set-point.

Djokovic needed just one break in the second set, that again coming in the first game.

Andreev was able to save one set-point in the ninth and final game, but on the second, his forehand let him down again and Djokovic was on the brink of victory.

He established a 3-0 lead in the third set after breaking in the second game and held serve for the rest of the contest to progress to his first grand-slam semi-final.

It is another success story for Serbia at this year's Roland Garros, with Jelena Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic having made it through to the last four in the women's singles.
