In one of the most shocking upsets, Rafael Nadal was bundled out of Wimbledon 2015 in the first week for the third time in four years, bamboozled by the wild and brilliant game of the qualifier Dustin Brown. The German hit numerous drop shots, some unbelievable returns and generally kept the 10th seed off balance, clinching a 7-5, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 victory. Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Petra Kvitova all cruised into the third round with straight-sets victories as the tournament meandered serenely through its fourth balmy day. But the calm was shattered by the final match on Centre Court when Brown, a man until now best known for his unconventional approach and dread-locks, brought back memories of the golden summer Wimbledon evenings of wooden rackets as he combined relentless power with brave and ambitious creativity.
