Two top Spanish players will take center stage on Wednesday's night draw at the 2016 U.S. Open.

No. 3 seed Garbine Muguruza is first up at Arthur Ashe Stadium's evening slate, taking on Latvia's Anastasija Sevastova. The 22-year-old Muguruza established herself as a rising star in tennis with her win over Serena Williams at the French Open this year.

She is one of the top threats to win at the U.S. Open, but she can't get too far ahead of herself. Muguruza is yet to make it past the second round at the U.S. Open, so even though it's early in the tournament, a win over Sevastova would be a huge personal milestone for the Spaniard.

Following that match, it's No. 4 seed Rafael Nadal against Italy's Andreas Seppi. Nadal is no stranger to U.S. Open success, having won the tournament in 2010 and 2013. Injuries and inconsistent play have plagued Nadal over the past couple of years, making every Grand Slam tournament an opportunity for the 30-year-old to prove he's still a dominant force in tennis. 

ESPN2 will carry all the action from Flushing Meadows, New York, starting at 6 p.m. ET, with the prime-time matches set to begin at 7 p.m. ET. Live streaming can be found at WatchESPN.

There are quite a few other prominent players gracing the hard courts for the late matches. Here's a look at a few more to watch on Day 3.

Muguruza dropped the first set, 2-6 but went on to blank Mertens 6-0 in the second set and close out the third 6-3. The New York Times' Ben Rothenberg noted a timely visit from the doctor helped Muguruza power through: 



It's possible the relative cool of the night session will help Muguruza against Sevastova. This will be...
