Tennis News: Nadal, Djokovic enter Italian Open quarterfinal

It's time for the ATP 1000 Rome Masters quarterfinals. After a tiring Thursday, where the big guns had to play two matches to progress, we are finally down to eight players. While Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic made light work of their opponents yesterday, Roger Federer had to dig deep to come through an inspired Borna Coric. The day starts with King of Clay and 8-time champion Nadal taking on fellow countryman Fernando Verdasco. Next up, the Swiss maestro will battle against next gen superstar Stefanos Tsitsipas. The evening will conclude with World No.1 Djokovic locking horns with Juan Martin Del potro. Fans will be happy that it promises to be another clear day in Rome with no chances of rain.
