Rafael Nadal continues his quest for a third Wimbledon title when he takes on unseeded Portuguese Joao Sousa in the round of 16.
Nadal has looked in imperious form throughout the tournament, dropping just 1 set en route to the fourth round.
The Spaniard dispatched of Yuichi Sugita in his opener before battling past a spirited Nick Kyrgios in the second round.
It was much smoother sailing for the French Open champion in the third round though, as he cruised past an insipid Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to book a date with Sousa.
The Portuguese has come through some titanic battles thus far. He saw off British hopeful Paul Jubb in the first round before producing arguably the upset of the tournament by annihilating Marin Cilic in straight sets in the second round.
A marathon five-set victory over Dan Evans holds him in good stead heading into this encounter with the third seed.
Nadal and Sousa have crossed paths two times in the past, with the Spaniard winning both encounters. He dropped only one set in those two matches and enters this contest as the firm favourite.
