Tweet report: 'Nadal hasn't reached Wimbledon quarters since India were No. 1 Test side'

Two-times champion Rafa Nadal’s appalling recent run at Wimbledon continued on Thursday as he crashed out in the second round after being out-muscled and out-thought in four sets by an inspired Dustin Brown of Germany. [caption id=“attachment_2324924” align=“alignnone” width=“380”] ![ Rafael Nadal looks dejected in his Singles Second Round match against Dustin Brown. Getty](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Nadal-loss-Wimbledon-Getty.jpg) Rafael Nadal looks dejected in his Singles Second Round match against Dustin Brown. Getty[/caption] The Spaniard, who has slipped down the sport’s pecking order and was seeded 10 after a year of injury and below-par performances, fell 7-5 3-6 6-4 6-4 as Brown, ranked 102 in the world, unleashed a barrage of thunderous serves and ground strokes, mixed with clever drop shots to seal a shock victory. As always, social media was abuzz. Here’s how Twitter reacted to Nadal’s shock loss.

This Nadal is playing like he has eaten Maggi and Brown like he has eaten Chywanaprash.

Is it really an "upset" if Nadal hasn't reached Wimbledon quarterfinals since India were #1 in test cricket?

Out of the blue. #NadalvsBrown
