So good for so long on the French Open's clay, where he's won 59 of 60 career matches, Rafael Nadal is suddenly mediocre on Wimbledon's grass, where he's surprisingly been beaten twice in a row.

What a 15-day swing for Nadal: from a record eighth championship at Roland Garros to a quick-as-can-be exit at the All England Club, the only first-round Grand Slam loss of his career.
