For the second consecutive year, Rafael Nadal made a shockingly early exit at Wimbledon. When he was knocked out in the second round a year ago, Nadal was battling a knee injury and admitted this week that he was “not yet ready to play.”
On Monday, the first day of play at Wimbledon, he was upset again, this time in the first round as he appeared again to be battling some sort of leg injury. The fifth-seeded Nadal lost in the first round of a major for the first time in his career, falling to Steve Darcis. An
unseeded player from Belgium, Darcis won 7-6 (7-4), 7-6 (10-8), 6-4.
