Rafael Nadal has made it through the first three rounds of the U.S. Open. However, when the veteran Spaniard faces Lucas Pouille of France on Sunday, he will be entering a critical phase of the tournament.

Nadal has been battling a wrist injury that has caused problems for him in recent tournaments. However, after his third-round victory over Andrey Kuznetsov, the Spaniard said his wrist is giving him fewer problems now than it did earlier this year.

If the fourth-seeded Nadal wins his fourth-round match, he would pass a significant milestone. He has not advanced beyond the fourth round at a major since he won the title at Roland Garros in 2014. He got to the fourth round at Wimbledon in 2014.

Nadal has won each of his first three matches at the U.S. Open in straight sets. Pouille, the 24th seed, has advanced to the fourth round by winning two five-set matches and a four-setter.

Nadal and Pouille are scheduled to play the third match of the day at the Arthur Ashe Stadium, where competition is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. ET.



ESPN2 will broadcast the Nadal-Pouille match and all of Sunday's round-of-16 action.

Eighth-seeded Madison Keys will meet Caroline Wozniacki in the second match of the day at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Keys has gotten off to a sharp start at the U.S. Open, beating Alison Riske, Kayla Day and Naomi Osaka in her first three matches.
