Nadal has actually reached the semi-final at the All England Lawn Tennis Club the past two times he's played here, although he missed the 2021 tournament through injury. But surprisingly, he's not won the Wimbledon title since 2010 — an incredible fact, considering he's taken 13 other Grand Slam titles in that time.
However, Nadal is in great form this year, and has already triumphed in both Australia and France to remain in contention for the fabled calendar slam.
Taylor Fritz, meanwhile, is in a different stage of his career. The 24-year-old had never before reached the fourth round of a Grand Slam, despite an impressive ATP ranking of 14, but has now gone a stage further still.
He's in superb form right now, having won at Indian Wells — where he beat Nadal in the final — and on grass at Eastbourne, just before Wimbledon. In fact, Fritz believes the Indian Wells tie could have a bearing on today's match, telling BBC "After Indian Wells he’s going to want to send a message and beat me really bad!"
The American looks ready for the next step in his career, but Nadal won't be easily beaten. Who will win this Wimbledon quarter-final? Find out by watching the Taylor Fritz vs Rafael Nadal live stream.

How to watch the Taylor Fritz vs Rafael Nadal live stream from anywhere with a VPN
A VPN, or virtual private network, makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere on Earth. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least.
For instance, a Brit who's currently in the U.S. could watch the Taylor Fritz vs Rafael Nadal live stream on BBC iPlayer, even though they're not in the U.K.
They're totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is ExpressVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to BBC iPlayer and watch the tennis.
How to watch the Taylor Fritz vs Rafael Nadal live stream in the US
The Taylor Fritz vs Rafael Nadal live stream will be shown on either ESPN or ESPN Plus as part of its extensive coverage from the All England Lawn Tennis Club. We say either, because ESPN hasn't revealed exactly which matches will air where, but it should definitely be on one or the other.
ESPN is available through most cable packages as well as some of the best cable TV alternatives, including Sling TV, Fubo.TV, YouTube TV and Hulu with Live TV.
Our pick of these would be Sling TV: the Sling Orange package costs just $35 per month and comes with more than 30 channels including ESPN3. Plus, right now Sling is offering 50% off the first month.
As well as being available through your cable service, you can also stream the action via the ESPN app, or on the Watch section of ESPN's website. However, you'll need to authenticate with your satellite, cable or live TV provider credentials to watch any sessions.
ESPN Plus, meanwhile, is available via the ESPN website and many of the best streaming devices. It's also a very well-priced service as these things go, with a subscription costing just $6.99 per month or $69.99 per year.
And remember, if you're usually based in the U.S. but aren't there at the moment, you can still watch the services you already subscribe to via a VPN such as ExpressVPN.
How to watch the Taylor Fritz vs Rafael Nadal live stream in the UK
Good news — Brits will be able to watch the Taylor Fritz vs Rafael Nadal live stream for FREE on BBC and BBC iPlayer.
It's not yet clear which channel it will show on, but our guess would be BBC One. But you'll definitely find it on BBC iPlayer either way, as that will be showing action from all 18 courts via BBC Red Button. You'll also be able to find it on the BBC Sport website.
On holiday right now? Sign up to ExpressVPN or another VPN service and you'll be able to use the BBC iPlayer from wherever you are, so long as you have a valid TV licence.
How to watch the Taylor Fritz vs Rafael Nadal live stream in Canada
Canadians can watch the Taylor Fritz vs Rafael Nadal live stream on TSN (in English) or RSN (in French), as part of a cable TV package. If they've cut the cord, they can sign up for TSN or RDS streaming accounts for $7.99 (CAD) a day or $19.99 per month.
Not at home right now? Use ExpressVPN or another VPN service to trick your device into thinking you're still in Canada.
How to watch the Taylor Fritz vs Rafael Nadal live stream in Australia
Aussies will be able to watch the Taylor Fritz vs Rafael Nadal live stream on Channel Nine or on its on-demand service 9Now.
That's great news wherever you are, because 9Now is available for free; all you need is an Australian postcode. That means Australians who aren't in the country right now will simply need to sign up to a VPN such as ExpressVPN in order to watch all the action as if they were back home.
However, 9Now won't have every single match. While big ties such as the Taylor Fritz vs Rafael Nadal live stream will probably be on the service, to be sure of watching every Wimbledon 2022 match, ad-free and in up to 4K resolution, you'll want a subscription to Stan Sport.
Stan can be accessed via a wide variety of devices including many smart TVs, iOS and Android phones, Chromecast, Apple TV and more — plus it costs a very reasonable $20 AUD per month ($10 for a standard subscription and $10 for the Sport add-on). A 30-day FREE trial gives you a taste of the platform — and the good news is that the Sport add-on also has a 7-day FREE trial.
You'll need to pay extra to access HD or 4K streams and to increase the number of devices you watch on, but even if you go for the full-fat Premium sub with the Sport add-on, you'd still only be looking at $29/month.
As well as the Wimbledon live streams, Stan also has Champions League 21/22 live streams, Champions League soccer coverage and a huge amount of live rugby.
