News Desk: Czech Lukas Rosol, who is ranked 100th in the world, rocked Wimbledon's Centre Court by winning a match against former World No. 1 Spanish Tennis player Rafael Nadal.
The Wimbledon witnessed one of the biggest shocks in the tournament's 126-year history. The audiences were stunned to see when the former world champion Nadal was beaten 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 on Centre Court on Thursday.
Nadal, who has won the 11th of his grand slams only this month in Paris and was hoping to add another one, is now out of Wimbledon.
Rosol had won only 18 matches in his whole career. However, his victory is a major boost for him. "I'm not just surprised, it's a miracle for me," said Rosol, who had gone out in the qualifiers in each of his previous five visits to Wimbledon. "He's a superstar and I'm very sorry for him, but I played unbelievably well", he said.
Nadal's defeat will give Andy Murray a chance to end Britain's 76-year wait for a men's grand slam champion.
