Spanish stalwart Rafael Nadal will take on 11th-seeded American Taylor Fritz on Wednesday for a place in the Wimbledon 2022 semifinal. This is the third consecutive time Nadal has secured a last-eight berth at SW19. He has reached the last-eight stage a total of eight times and will look to reach his third semifinal in as many tries when he takes on Fritz.

Nadal is bidding to win all four majors in the same season. By winning the third Wimbledon crown, and a record-extending 23rd major men’s singles title, he will then have to win only the US Open for the elusive calendar slam. He has never before entered Wimbledon with the Australian Open and French Open trophies in tow.
