Day four, Thursday, of the men’s singles saw straight-set victories for Andy Murray, Roger Federer, Tomas Berdych and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.  

But the day also gave Wimbledon its first major upset in the elimination of 10th seed Rafael Nadal at the hands of No. 102 Dustin Brown (below, pictured). 

This will now be the fourth time in a row that 14 grand slam champion Nadal has lost to a player seeded in the triple digits in a Wimbledon final.
