June 29, 2012 14:47
It can be seen as a one-off result but Lukas Rosol's (ranked 100) win against Rafael Nadal showed champions can be brought down too, of course with some luck and a whole lot of courage.

Nadal had managed to claim the first set but once Rosol overtook him, the Spaniard's demeanour grew glum.

There is no doubt that Nadal is a true champion of the sport but this upset may well be an indication of a new star on the horizon.
