World number 102 Dustin Brown beats Rafael Nadal 7-5 3-6 6-4 6-4 on Centre Court to stun the two-time Wimbledon champion.

World number 102 Dustin Brown has produced a stunning display to shock Rafael Nadal and book his place in round three at Wimbledon.

The number 10 seed has struggled in the early rounds at SW19 in recent times, and his woes continued this evening with a 7-5 3-6 6-4 6-4 defeat on Centre Court.

It was the Spaniard who got off to the stronger start, breaking his opponent in the third game to grab a foothold before failing to push on.

Brown was able to earn a break of serve of his own in the sixth, and did likewise in the final game to take a surprise one-set lead over the two-time winner.

There was further misery for Nadal, who appeared to clip his own leg with the racquet when looking to return the decisive final ball, but there was no lasting pain.

Nadal was able to level things up in the second, however, breaking Brown on a couple of occasions and getting the job done with his third set point.

Brown was unfazed by the setback, edging a pivotal third set with the only break of serve in the fifth game, successfully using the momentum to send him on his way to a mammoth victory.

Fourteen-time Grand Slam winner Nadal was given a glimmer of hope in the fourth and final set when saving two match points, but there was no stopping a determined Brown who finally got the job done to match his previous best achievement of 2013 by progressing beyond round two.

Viktor Troicki, who beat home hopeful Aljaz Bedene earlier today, now awaits the German.
