Djokovic
needs a Roland Garros title to complete a career Grand Slam after losing three
finals in four years including last season to Stan Wawrinka.
Fourth seed
Wawrinka is scheduled to take on second seed Andy Murray in the other
semifinal.

Nadal, who
lost to Djokovic in the quarterfinals in 2015, had originally been set to be
seeded at five until 2009 champion Roger Federer withdrew through injury on
Thursday.
Fourth seed
Nadal starts his French Open against big-serving Sam Groth of Australia with a
potential quarterfinal against home hope Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

In the
women's draw, defending champion and top seed Serena Williams, bidding for a
fourth Paris title and 22nd Grand Slam crown, starts against Slovakia's
Magdalena Rybarikova, the world number 76.
The
27-year-old Slovak has never made it beyond the second round in Paris.
Williams
could face 2010 champion Francesca Schiavone of Italy in the third round.
