Williams struggled with her serve and never really threatened on a cool evening at the Foro Italico.
Top-ranked Serena is up next for Jankovic.
"When you play against a Williams you can't relax at all, you just have to go out there and it give it your best," the Serb said.
Serena had been out with a left knee injury since winning the Australian Open in January.
"My knee is feeling good so far," she said. "I can't believe I'm still in the tournament - it's weird."
Serena leads 4:3 in previous meeting with Jelena, but they never played a match on clay against each other. Jelena will be the favourite again.
Jelena and Serena are scheduled to play first match tomorrow, 4pm local time.
Sanja Said,
OMG!!! JJ played like a real number 1. This match was Jelena's best in a couple of months, for sure. Hope to see all-Serbian final!!!
