The former World No. 1 is set to clash with Canadian Denis Shapovalov in what will be their fifth meeting. Nadal has won three of them while his opponent has won just one. Shapovalov got a walkover once as well, which doesn't count as a win for him.

The Canadian upset third seed Alexander Zverev in the fourth round, winning 6-3, 7-6(5), 6-3. This was the first time in the tournament that he won in straight sets, having won his previous three matches in lengthy four and five-set battles.

Shapovalov is currently on a seven-match winning streak, having won three matches at the ATP Cup prior to the Australian Open.
