The 2014 edition of Wimbledon has started off usual enough. Outside of Victoria Azarenka's early exit, most of tennis' biggest stars have survived the early rounds at All England Club.

Day 6 just might reverse that trend.  

The slate features a star-studded lineup including Rafael Nadal, Serena Williams and Roger Federer, all of whom are expected to advance. But that doesn't necessarily mean they will. The level of competition is set to start rising as the players get closer to the final.

Here's a look at all the information you'll need to catch the action.



If you don't have time to kick back and watch all of Wimbledon, here's a breakdown of the must-see matches that will highlight the day.

It appeared that history might repeat itself when Rosol stormed out of the gates to take the first set 6-4. With 11 aces in the set, it appeared as though he was ready to once again upset the world No. 1. 

There's a reason that Nadal is the top-ranked player in the world, though. Rosol's heroics only extended to the second set, where he couldn't finish the deal on a tiebreaker to take another set. 

Now, Nadal must refocus and regroup to take on an opponent who has looked even better than Rosol up to this point. As this highlight that Wimbledon tweeted shows, Nadal is looking up to the task:



Kukushkin has earned straight-set victories over his first two opponents. Nadal should still be expected to win, but after dropping a set in each of his first two matches, he's far from invincible.
