Dustin Brown thrills Centre Court
Rafael Nadal became the first heavyweight casualty of Wimbledon yesterday as he was blitzed in four sets by the scintillating Dustin Brown, whose unconventional style never allowed the two-time winner to settle.
The dreadlocked German has a ranking of 102 and had never played on Centre Court before but he made it his own, and his victory means Nadal has now failed to progress past the fourth round in his last four attempts.
Elsewhere in SW19 Andy Murray made light work of Dutchman Robin Haase, winning 6-1 6-1 6-4, Roger Federer saw off Sam Querrey 6-4 6-2 6-2 and Caroline Wozniackisurvived a second set wobble as she beat Denisa Allertova 6-1 7-6.
Good night in Europe for UCD

Cork City took the lead against KR Reykjavik but were pegged back at Turners Cross, drawing 1-1, while Aaron Green scored a potentially priceless away goal for St Patrick's Athletic as they went down 2-1 away to Skonto Riga.
