Serbia's Novak Djokovic, the second seed, cruised into the semifinals of
the Rome Masters on Saturday after a rain-interrupted 6-1, 6-4 win over
Juan del Potro.
Djokovic, the only former Masters winner remaining in the draw, will now face Dominic Thiem later on Saturday after the Austrian starlet sent seven-time champion Rafael Nadal of Spain crashing out in the quarters.

Halep beats Bertens to reach Rome final
Play to resume in Rome after rain delay
Heavy downpours and storms in the Italian capital which began on Friday
night mean organisers are playing catch-up in a bid to bring the event to a close by Sunday.
Djokovic had taken a one-set lead over unseeded Argentinian Del Potro, who held a 2-1 lead in the second set before heavy rain halted play.
The first men's semifinal is between 20-year-old German Alexander Zverev and big-serving American John Isner.
