Round of 16 play at the 2016 Rome Masters continues on Thursday with an array of compelling matchups.
But one stands out among the rest: Nick Kyrgios, the 21-year-old rising star, vs. World No. 5 Rafael Nadal. The always-entertaining Kyrgios upset Nadal in their only other meeting at Wimbledon in 2014, but a rematch on clay certainly favors Rafa. No matter who advances, though, this one is certain to have some fireworks.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch all the action:
