- description: In one of the biggest upsets in Grand Slam tennis history, little-known Czech Lukas Rosol toppled the great Rafael Nadal in a second-round match Thursday at Wimbledon. The 100th-ranked Rosol stunned the second-seeded former world No. 1 in five sets, 6-7 (9-11), 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4, on the famed Centre Court. The 26-year-old two-time Wimbledon champion Nadal had reached the final in his last five trips to the All England Lawn Tennis Club, including titles in 2008 and 2010. After Nadal won the fourth set easily against Rosol, officials controversially decided to close the roof on Centre Court because of impending nightfall. Following a 30-minute roof-closure delay, Rosol stunned Nadal by breaking the Spaniard to open the fifth set. The unheralded Czech would then hold his powerful serve the rest of the way to pull off the shocker. Rosol served for the match at 5-4 in the fifth and blew Nadal away with a love game, including a resounding match-ending ace for his 20th winner of the set on his first match point of the night.
