Nadal loses out in epic as Muller makes his case at Wimbledon

Rafael Nadal suffered another early Wimbledon exit yesterday after Gilles Muller won a Court One classic 15-13 in the fifth set.

Roger Federer and Andy Murray made it safely through to the quarter-finals but Nadal was on the wrong end of an incredible 6-3 6-4 3-6 4-6 15-13 scoreline.

An epic final set took two-and-a-quarter hours — more than half an hour longer than it took Federer to dispatch Grigor Dimitrov.
