Nadal Loses in 1st Round at Wimbeldon

Well, so goes that idea.

2 Time Wimbeldon Champ Rafael Nadal will remain a two time champ after this years tournament. That's because he's out.

Nadal was beaten in straight sets Monday by 135 ranked Steve Darcis of Belgium on Court 19, the fringes of the tennis center.

Reports say Nadal was sluggish, this despite coming in on a 22 match winning streak and yes, it's the first time he's lost in the 1st round of a Grand Slam tournament.

One of the other tourney favorites, Roger Federer, rolled in his early match, taking down Victor Hanescu in just over an hour.

As the two rallied in the third set, Tsonga went to the net...Murray tries to return the volley..and does. The shot..well...let's just say it hit home.
