Top 5 underdog triumphs at Wimbledon

Steve Darcis over Rafeal Nadal, 1st Round, 2013

Rafael Nadal has not been new to ‘upsets’ in his career. He had been previously defeated by Lukas Rosol in the 2nd round of 2012 but his loss to Steve Darcis was unbelievable. He lost to Darcis in straight sets and the Belgian lad announced his arrival by defeating the Spaniard in style by 6-4,7-5,7-5 in this year’s recently concluded Wimbledon Championship.

After the match, an elated Darcis said “I will try to get the DVD of the match and keep it at home” after claiming one of his greatest wins by beating two-time champion Rafeal Nadal.

Nadal was quick to accept his defeat and denied blaming his ‘knee injury’ as a reason for his loss.

He said “I don’t want to talk about my knee. Everything I say today about my knee will be an excuse and I don’t like to put any excuse when I’m losing a match like I lost today. At the end, it is only a tragedy. It is a sport after all.”
