World No. 1 Novak Djokovic will square off against World No. 9 Felix-Auger Aliassime in the quarterfinals of the 2022 Italian Open on Friday.

Djokovic kept his hopes of a sixth title in Rome alive with a 6-2, 6-2 win against familiar foe Stan Wawrinka on Thursday. The Serb played a solid match and looked in control from the get-go. He has now reached the last eight in Rome 16 times in as many appearances.

Djokovic, who defeated Aslan Karatsev 6-3, 6-2 in the second round, needs to win his quarterfinal match to continue his reign at the top of the rankings. If the Serb loses to Auger-Aliassime, Daniil Medvedev will ascend to the top spot next week.

Seeded No. 8 in Rome, Auger-Aliassime received a bye into the second round. He launched his campaign with a tough three-set win over 2022 Monte-Carlo Masters runner-up Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. He had a much easier time in the third round, winning 6-3, 6-2 against Marcos Giron to reach the last eight.
