2015 Wimbledon - Dustin Brown beats Rafael Nadal Thursday June 02,2015

 

Two-time champion Rafael Nadal(Spain) is making another early exit from Wimbledon, after losing in the second round to a 102nd-ranked qualifier who played the match of his life.

Rafael Nadal, a 14-time grand slam champion who won Wimbledon in 2008 and 2010, was dumped out by German qualifier Dustin Brown in the second round, the Spaniard's 4th reverse to a player ranked 100th or lower at the All England Club since 2011

Thursday's loss followed his 2012 second round exit to world 100 Lukas Rosol, a first round beating by the 135-ranked Steve Darcis in 2013 and last year's fourth round defeat to Nick Kyrgios, who was at 144.

Rafael Nadal is likely to end the year without a grand slam singles title for the first time since his debut French Open crown in 2005 

Dustin Brown, a German of Jamaican heritage with a clever touch and a throwback serve-and-volley game, beat Nadal 7-5, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 on Centre Court on Thursday June 02,2015 in by far the biggest surprise of the tournament so far

Dustin Brown,Germany's world number 102 won 7-5 3-6 6-4 6-4 to reach the third round of a Grand Slam for the third time.

It is only the second time this year that the 30-year-old has won back-to-back matches at the top level.

Rafael Nadal(29) has now lost in the second, first, fourth and second rounds on his past four visits to Wimbledon.
