Nadal vows to bounce back quickly

For the first time in his career, Rafael Nadal will wake today with a first-round loss at a grand slam against his name, but he is adamant that it will not be long before he is back to put that right.

The 12-time major champion was stunned by the unheralded world number 135 Steve Darcis on Wimbledon’s first day, losing in three sets but refusing to blame his problematic knee injury.
