CRI听力:Nadal Knocked out at Wimbledon

2014-07-03来源:CRI

World Number-1 Rafael Nadal has been dispatched from the tournament by Australian teenager Nick Kyrgios.

Nadal has been defeated in 4-sets, 7-6, 5-7, 7-6, 6-3.

I think that I didn't play really bad. But that's the game in this surface. I think in the second and the third set I was better than him, but I was not able to convert that opportunities. And for the rest, I think he play better than me. So, in general, talking about what you need to win in this surface, he did the things better than me."

It is the first time since 1992 a man ranked outside the top 100 has beaten a world number one.

The young Australian says he took motivation from his mother after reading that she didn't expect him to win.

"Last night, I was reading a comment that she thought Rafa was too good for me, and she made me a bit angry, honestly, made me a bit angry but obviously, you think that he's on a whole other level compared to me, but I knew if I just played my game and believed in myself, I would create some opportunities."

Kyrgios next plays Canadian eighth seed Milos Raonic for a place in the semi-finals.

On women's side,

Five-time major champion Maria Sharapova is out after losing a 3-set battle against 9th seeded Angelique Kerber.

The German will now be up against fast-rising Canadian star Eugenie Bouchard in the quarters.

In the women's doubles competition,

The Chinese duo of Peng Shuai and Su-Wei Hsieh have advanced to the third round after cruising past a pair from Ukraine and Poland in straight-sets.

Diagnosed with a viral illness, Serena Williams has pulled out of her Wimbledon doubles match with sister Venus after only three games.
