Nadal was out, Rosol is In!


An unknown Czech player beats second seed Rafael Nadal in a devastating lost sending Nadal out of Wimbledon. Nadal did enjoy few moments of glory as his servings rallied the unknown Czech player. However, after three hours and 18 minutes, Rosol shocked the whole world after scoring 6-7, 9-11, 6-4, 6-4, 2-6 and 6-4. This lost is now considered as one of the biggest shocks in Wimbledon after 126 years.
The lost of second seed Rafael Nadal was not an ordinary lost because Rosol is ranked 100th, the lowest ranked player to beat a second seed player. Besides, Nadal never lost second round in seven years and Rosol understands this saying his win is a “miracle”.
With 11 grand slam titles on his name and two championships under his name, Rosol knew that he needs to beat a big man but his steady serves helped him win the game.
On the same story, James Ward, British number two top player was also beaten in Wimbledon after playing against tenth seed Mardy Fish. Fish won the five set game after meeting some resistance from Ward on the fourth set. Still, Fish prevailed with 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, 6-7, 3-7, 6-3 scores.
