Debutant Nikoloz Basilashvili reaches the third round at Wimbledon with a surprise five-set win against 15th seed Feliciano Lopez.

Feliciano Lopez has been knocked out of Wimbledon at the second-round stage after suffering a five-set defeat to Nikoloz Basilashvili.

The 15th seed fired down 32 aces during the contest, but he was unable to put away the Georgian who eventually prevailed 7-5 3-6 6-3 2-6 6-4.

After three quarter-final appearances at SW19, Lopez may have expected to dispatch the 23-year-old, who is making his first appearance at the tournament.

However, Basilashvili secured the only break of the opening set, and although he dropped the second, he converted one of his four opportunities in the third to move closer to a memorable win.

The experience of Lopez showed during the fourth as the Spaniard forced a decider, but Basilashvili, who had dealt with the left-hander's serve all afternoon, broke twice to seal a victory that takes him to within a win of a place in the world's top 100.
