The show is on today. Don't miss the Men's Singles quarterfinals as the final eight try to advance to the semifinals. There will be four must-watch matchups and we have the time and channels where you can enjoy the action live on your television.

Channel-Where to Watch: ESPN, ESPN 2

Time: 8 a.m. ET/1 p.m. GMT

First up, watch David Ferrer (4) vs. Juan Martin Del Potro (8) at 8 a.m. ET/1 p.m. GMT on ESPN. Ferrer owns the battle between the two Spanish speakers, 6-2. The two last met in 2012 at the ATP World Tour Finals where Ferrer defeated the Argentinian. In fact, Ferrer has won four consecutive matchups against Del Potro and is looking to repeat a Finals appearance as he was this year's French Open's runner-up. Del Potro is already on the best run of his career. He already has a grand slam title under his belt, having won the 2009 U.S. Open. This is his first quarterfinals appearance at Wimbledon and he will be looking to make the most of it.

Also setting off at 8 a.m. ET/1 p.m. GMT, Novak Djokovic (1) vs. Tomas Berdych (7). You can watch this matchup on ESPN2. Djokovic made sure to avoid any type of upset as he has cruised through the tournament efficiently. He has yet to lose a set and has only played two tiebreakers in his 12 sets played at the All English Club. He completely owns Berdych, who is looking to once again land in the finals at Wimbledon. Berdych was a runner-up in 2010, but his chances are looking slim as Djokovic owns this battle 13-2. Berdych is 1-2 against Djokovic this season, though, he did win their last meeting at Italy, but this is a grand slam and Djokovic doesn't go so easy when playing for a major.

The man of the hour will be Andy Murray. He's set to take over Centre Court following Ferrer and Del Potro. It will be Murray vs. Fernando Verdasco. Verdasco, who hails from Spain, comes into the tournament unseeded. Are we ready to witness an upset? Not so fast. Murray is 8-1 against the Spaniard. The two haven't met since 2009 and Murray has won three straight against Verdasco. The key for Murray will be clean tennis because Verdasco will not be looking to settle. This is Verdasco's best run at Wimbledon and he will be looking to get the most out of it.

Time: Immediately following Ferrer vs. Del Potro

Wrapping up the action Court 1, Lukasz Kubot vs. Jerzy Janowicz (24). It is the Polish Battle on Court 1 as both of these players hail from the same nation. Though unseeded, Kubot is experienced in quarterfinals play. He is not new to the game. Janowicz is a fresh face and he can have a great future in the game as the 22-year-old is making only his second Wimbledon appearance and is already getting play in the quarterfinals.

Time: Immediately following Djokovic vs. Berdych
