Eleven-time grand slam winner and tennis superstar Rafael Nadal was sent home after losing a match against inspired Czech player Lukas Rosol.

Nadal is no longer in the running for the championships, when he failed to qualify at Wimbledon Men's Singles Tournament in London.

A death match for Nadal happened Thursday night. The Czech player managed to stay alive in a 33-minute rally ending with 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 scores. Nadal made an early exit on last night's second round of the Men's Singles.

The Wimbledon Tournament has always been full of surprises. Nobody could have seen that Rosol will defeat the champion when a week ago he lost in the final round of qualifying matches for the Eastbourne tournament. While Nadal came to compete fresh from his victorious sweep on the French Open.

The match instantly listed Nadal to Wimbledon's greatest upsets. The Tennis Champ lost to World's Rank 100. This is the first shameful defeat for Nadal. For Rosol, this is like a dream come true to be able to defeat one of Tennis protégé, especially on his first Wimbledon.

Nadal coolly shrugged off his loss with a statement, "I played against an inspired opponent and I am out. That's all. It's not a tragedy. It's only a tennis match."

"At the end, that's life. There are much more important things. Sure, I wanted to win, but I lost. It's not a tragedy," the tennis superstar quickly added.

Nadal courteously praised Rosol's win with three aces. The Czech was able to deliver good service and incredible service returns.

However, Nadal doubted that Rosol could repeat his last night's performance. "He didn't do it the past, but you never know what's going on in the future. The thing is today he played great," said the 26-year-old Spaniard.

"If he played the way he played the fifth set, you can win against everybody. But I think everybody who follows tennis knows that that's very difficult to do every day. But if he's able to do it this time, he will have his chance. I wish him all the best," were Nadal's parting words as he is bound to leave the tournament.
