His win puts him in a position to potentially become the first man to win each of the four majors at least three times.
In the semi-finals, Djokovic could face world number one Carlos Alcaraz, who will be competing against Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Tuesday night session.
Throughout the tournament, Djokovic had not dropped a set on the Paris clay, but Khachanov provided the test he needed to prepare for the upcoming challenges.
