Eight-time champion Federer is back in action on Centre Court against Kei Nishikori where defending champion Novak Djokovic will open proceedings against David Goffin of Belgium.
On Court One it'll be Argentina's Guido Pella and Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain opening things up before Nadal returns to face Sam Querrey of the United States in the final men's quarter-final.
And later on Andy Murray and Serena Williams will be in action too as they continue their much-anticipated mixed doubles campaign.
