Jankovic was leading 6-1, 3-0 when the match was stopped.
The former world No. 1 is the highest seeded player remaining in the $2 million tournament.
"I don't really think about that," said Jankovic, seeded seventh.
"I just think about my game and what I have to do on the court. I don't want to put too much pressure on myself."
