Summary

Dustin Brown recorded the biggest upset of the 2015 Wimbledon Championships so far, or did he? He was the fourth player ranked outside the world’s Top 100 in four years to knock Rafael Nadal out of the tournament. But this was still Nadal, twice a champion. Telegraph Tennis Correspondent Simon Briggs joinsTennis Podcast presenters Catherine Whitaker and David Law to look back on the spectacular performance of the dreadlocked German, and ask ‘what went wrong for Nadal?’ Elsewhere, Murray and Federer cruised through, with the Swiss throwing in a through the legs lob winner, and James Ward reached the third round for the first time. In our big debate, we discuss Nick Kyrgios, and ask ‘Brat or Brilliant?’ The Tennis Podcast is produced in association with The Telegraph, and supported by BNP Paribas, the bank for a changing world. www.wearetennis.com

0:00.0	Hi I'm Layton Huett and you're listening to the tennis podcast.
0:12.8	Well hello and welcome to the tennis podcast. It is Thursday evening. We are coming to you from
0:19.2	Wimbledon and the skies are darkening and we're here late tonight and the reason for that is
0:25.3	because we have had a big shock the first really big ground breaking shaking shock of Wimbledon
0:33.3	so far in 2015 and it is because Rafael the Dau is out and he's been knocked out by an incredible
0:41.8	performance from Dustin Brown of Germany. The man with a dreadlocks the man he was walking around

0:53.2	myself David Law, part of the Five Live commentary team by Catherine Whittaker who's part of the
0:58.4	live at Wimbledon team and Simon Briggs the tennis correspondent of the Telegraph and let me remind you
1:04.2	that we are brought to you in association with the Telegraph were supported by BNP Pairbar and Simon
1:10.9	the place is in a bit of a shock or is it? Well I come in in the morning they're always playing
1:16.7	John Hertz narration of last year's Wimbledon. I was thinking this morning there haven't been much

1:35.5	beating Raffer don't you? Absolutely and it was the way that it happened as well and it was so
1:40.3	reminiscent particularly I thought Catherine of last year when Nick Curios knocked Raffer out not
1:45.6	only in terms of the spectacular nature of the hitting and the beautiful way that he was
1:51.2	leaping around the place knocking off follies but it was the way he was just messing with Nidal's mind.
1:56.9	It was yes but I think there was a significant difference I mean with Curios it was a completely
