London: Second-ranked Rafael Nadal faced his worst Grand Slam defeat in seven years on Thursday when the world number 100 Czech Lukas Rosol pulled off one of the greatest upsets in Wimbledon history.
Rosol, whose previous visits to Wimbledon had ended in five successive first round losses in qualifying, stunned the 2008 and 2010 champion, and 11-time Grand Slam title winner Nadal, 6-7 (9/11), 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4.
He will face German 27th seed Philipp Kohlschreiber for a place in the last 16, AFP reported.
