Novak Djokovic will face Rafael Nadal in the quarter-final of the 2016 Italian Open after surviving an early scare against Thomaz Bellucci.

The world No. 1 was actually blanked by the Brazilian in the opening set before rallying to win, while Nadal also dropped the opener against Nick Kyrgios but recovered to go through.

Andy Murray also progressed after brushing aside Jeremy Chardy and will face David Goffin in the last eight after the Belgian shut out Tomas Berdych.

But Roger Federer's campaign came to an end at the last-16 stage thanks to Dominic Thiem, the notable upset on a day of shocks.



Austrian Thiem produced an excellent performance to win 7-6(2), 6-4 against Federer, who looked to be struggling slightly with injury. Thiem was clinical with his serve and groundstrokes, claiming victory in less than 80 minutes.

Federer soon had company for his shock exit in the form of countryman Stan Wawrinka, when Juan Monaco battled back from a set down to record another upset on the day.

In the women's draw, top seed Serena Williams had to work hard to topple fellow American Christina McHale but eventually came through her third-round clash, 7-6(7), 6-1.

Here are the latest results from the day's action at the Rome Masters, as well as the upcoming schedule.
