PARIS (Reuters) - World number ones Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams will feel like they are working overtime on Friday when organizers cram all four semi-finals into a single session to try and ensure a rain-ravaged tournament ends on schedule.

The Serbian will be on court for a fourth day running and the American for a third, after the players' usual rest days between matches were eaten up by persistent rain delays that washed out Monday and meant just two hours of play were possible on Tuesday.
