After his first-round win, the volatile Australian spit in the direction of a spectator he said had been hassling him. Tsitsipas, who lost last year's French Open final to Novak Djokovic, reached the fourth round in 2018 for his career-best result at the All England Club. The second-seeded Nadal looked far from his best at times, but he won on Centre Court in a match that finished under the roof after a rain delay during the fourth set.

WIMBLEDON - Rafael Nadal a encore lâché un set, mais il s'est qualifié pour le troisième tour en dominant Ricardas Berankis (6-4, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3).

Wimbledon Obligé de sauver une première balle de break dans son troisième jeu de service, le tenant du titre de Roland Garros et de l'Open d'Australie a fait le dos rond pour mieux piquer son adversaire à 5-4 en sa faveur. C'était encore un combat, mais Rafael Nadal en est sorti une nouvelle fois vainqueur.

Rafael Nadal reached the third round of Wimbledon with a 6-4 6-4 4-6 6-3 against Lithuania's Ricardas Berankis on Thursday.

The 36-year-old faces Italian 27th seed Lorenzo Sonego in the third round on Saturday. After Nadal took the first two sets, Berankis, ranked No. 106 in the world, hit back in the third thanks to an early break of serve. The Spaniard will likely have to improve on the grass in order to claim his third Wimbledon title, particularly with top seed and rival Novak Djokovic

Rafael Nadal endured one of those days when his opponent plays the game of their lives, but despite the best efforts of Ricardas Berankis it is the 22-time ...

The third set saw Berankis create memories he will savour at the end of his career, the 32-year-old breaking early again and this time not only holding on but besting Nadal in some of the most fluent tennis of the match. His forehand sizzled, his serve was reliable and he won dramatic points in the fourth set too, including the last before the rain came down. That very much worked today, giving me lots of chances to constantly break or get close to a break. “I felt really good from the start,” he said. It made for a compelling contest and it was not until his fifth service game that his 5ft 9in opponent showed weakness, a dreadful double fault to give a break point that Nadal gobbled up, to take the set 6-4. “It wasn’t the best start, but it was probably the best finish,” Nadal said.
