ROME: Novak Djokovic's love affair with Rome continued as the five-time champion picked up his 60th victory at the Italian Open with a 6-3, 6-2 success over Aslan Karatsev on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila).

Women's US Open champion Emma Raducanu, however, was forced to retire from her first round against Bianca Andreescu, still struggling with a back injury she picked up in Madrid last week.
