ROME (AP) Top-ranked Novak Djokovic overcame a poor first set and a smashed racket to beat 14th-seeded Juan Monaco 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 Thursday and reach the Italian Open quarterfinals.

Rafael Nadal routed Marcel Granollers 6-1, 6-1, and the Williams sisters both won. Serena defeated Anabel Medina Garrigues 6-3, 6-1 to extend her winning streak to 16 matches, and Venus upset Samantha Stosur 6-4, 6-3.

With the wind whipping the red-clay surface at the Foro Italico, Djokovic struggled with his serve and backhand in the opening set before settling down and wearing Monaco.
