The first big name in the men's singles draw came crashing down Thursday in second-round play at the 2015 Wimbledon Championships, setting the tone for an inevitably wacky first weekend at the All England Club.

Rafael Nadal's shocking defeat to qualifier Dustin Brown on Thursday shocked the world of tennis much more than any No. 10 seed has done at a Grand Slam setting in recent memory.
