Holder Jelena Jankovic reached the quarter-finals of the Italian Open when Ukrainian Kateryna Bondarenko retired in the third round because of illness.

Serbian Jankovic, who is targeting her third consecutive title in Rome, had looked impressive before her opponent pulled out and was leading 6-1 1-0.

World number one Dinara Safina meets 14th seed Zheng Jie later on Wednesday.

And American fourth seed Venus Williams takes on Safina's Russian compatriot Anna Chakvetadze.
