  1. Goodnight, and stay safe

    Dustin Brown

    Anyway, what a day. What a match. What a man.

    Doubtless there'll be all sorts of drama on Friday too. We are heading to the hills to prepare for a day that includes Novak Djokovic, Maria Sharapova, Grigor Dimitrov and Nick Kyrgios in action, before top seed Serena Williams takes on top Briton Heather Watson.

    Can't wait. See you there. I'm off to watch Wimbledon 2Day. You should too. It's on the live coverage tab on this very page.

    Dustin Brown

    Dustin Brown on BBC Radio 5 live: "It is an unbelievable feeling. I am very happy I got to show my style on this stage and against such a great champion in Rafa. I have played Rafa before on a grass court and there was some belief if I could put it together, I could have a great match."

    At 5-4 in third set, when he left a volley: "When I sat down I was thinking that I had served well since qualifying and I needed to try and do the same thing. If he came up with the goods, then fair enough. I was nervous but I served for a lot of matches and sets this year and ended up losing. If it ended up being that way so be it."

  4. It's not the end for me - Nadal

    Rafael Nadal has been dragged in front of the press for a fuller explanation for his defeat.

    "It's not the end. It is a sad moment for me but life continues. My career, too. I have to keep going and working more than ever to try to change that dynamic," he said.

    "I am a good loser. When I am not that good, I always accept.

    "You know, at the end of the day, today I lost. Don't forget I played five finals here. I don't know how many players did that."

  7. No double joy for Ward

    Jonathan Jurejko

    BBC Sport at Wimbledon

    James Ward

    Think you've had a hectic day at work? I'd place a small wager on it not being as labour intensive as James Ward's efforts to earn a living.

    The 28-year-old Londoner reached the last 32 of a Grand Slam singles for the first time earlier, then had to reenergise himself for a men's doubles match.

    However, it is not a double celebration for Ward. His Anglo-Aussie partnership with Matthew Ebden went down 7-5 6-2 7-6 (7-3) against Teymuraz Gabashvili and Yen-Hsun Lu as the summer sun set in SW19.

  8. Post update

    Tim Henman

    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 live

    "I think Federer or Murray would have beaten Brown today. They both return better and are more confident, Rafa has struggled with confidence.

    "Confidence is the sum of your thoughts. When you have won 14 Grand Slams and 60 odd tour titles, it amazes me how fragile Rafael Nadal's confidence is.

    "He has talked about how he really struggles with nerves in matches and that amazes me. He needs to find a solution to that because he is still young."

  9. Post update

    John McEnroe

    Three-time Wimbledon champion on BBC Radio 5 live

    "Rafa admitted publicly he was struggling for confidence and maybe that inspired players in the locker room. While honesty is the best policy, maybe it isn't here. I still believe he will win a few majors."

    "Perhaps Rafa needs fresh blood in his corner. Uncle Toni has done an excellent job but clearly at this stage, some fresh ideas might be in order.

    He joked: " I am saying get a new damn coach. The unthinkable has happened four years in a row to Rafa now."

    "Dustin Brown has been a perennial journeyman, he rose to the occasion against a great player. He is just going for it. He was trying everything, it had to be a record in drop volleys? Unbelievable but effective. If we had half the tour that played like Brown and half that played from the baseline, that would be absolutely amazing."

    What next for Dustin Brown. Well, an ice bath, a celebratory swig of isotonic and Viktor Troikci in the short term.

    But, further forward, can he use this win as a launchpad to somewhere higher than 102nd in the world?

    The signs are promising.

    Lukas Rosol was 100th in the world when he beat Nadal in 2012, he is now 41st.

    Steve Darcis was 135th in the world when he did the same in 2013, he is now 80th.

    Nick Kyrgios was 144th in 2014, he is now 29th.

    With the drama now over on Centre Court, the ticket holders may be tempted to indulge in more tennis pleasure on the outer courts. But fans are already packed into the tight gangways between courts six, seven, 10 and 11, standing five or six deep as they keep tabs on the doubles.

    Hashim: Only a year ago people were talking of Nadal easily winning 20 or more grand slam titles. How unlikely does that sound today?

    Linda MacDonald: Can Djokovic, Murray and Federer learn something from Dan Brown re how to beat each other on grass?

    Erm Linda, I think Dan Brown might be able to help with battling the dark forces of Opus Dei. How to battle the forces of Djokovic though is probably out of his expertise.

    More from Dustin Brown's post-match interview on BBC Two: "When I went for my shots and started really well that helped. I didn't want to get into any long rallies. That last game was unbelievable. I kept saying 'Dustin concentrate and even if you lose no-one is going to say anything bad, so just get through it.'."

    Brown and Nadal

    German qualifier Dustin Brown on BBC Two after his win against Rafael Nadal: "You have to play your A game against him. I am fortunate I played him twice on grass, which is my favourite surface - I wouldn't want to play him anywhere else. My game makes him not play his game. He doesn't get in a rhythm. The set he beat me he passed me unbelievable."

  21. Post update

    Marion Bartoli

    2013 Wimbledon champion

    "Rafa Nadal is too much of a champion to not come back to the level he played. He needs to find a reason why his forehand is not working. You can't write him off. He won 14 grand slams. He has had a bad season but I'm sure next season he will find a way back."

    "It is is another disappointment for Rafa and I just think how many blows can he take like this? He doesn't just turn up to these tournaments, his set up is too professional and this is another blow for him to take.

    "Dustin Brown has made £30,000 this year, he is guaranteed £77,000 just now. It is not an overnight thing. It is nice to see a dream come true on centre court."

    Victorious qualifier Dustin Brown on BBC Two: "I had never been on Centre Court before today. They asked me if I wanted to go on before and I said no. I thought I would freak out but it felt very familiar.

    "Being on grass with Nadal, having won last match, made me feel more comfortable. It was easier to play my game against him because I had nothing to lose."

  24. Post update

    Who is Dustin Brown?

    This is the chat you need to have around the water cooler tomorrow.

    If you are taking liberties with the truth you could add that he uses his dreadlocks as a counter-lever to inject more power into his groundstrokes. Much in the style of a Roman catapult.

    "Dustin Brown said it perfectly, he had it absolutely dead on, the game plan was perfect. He picked his spots, he went for it and he knew when to conserve his energy. It was one of the all-time great efforts from an unknown player I have ever seen.

    "I am thinking there are lot of kids and a lot of professional players toiling in the minor leagues thinking, maybe that style can work at Wimbledon. It was special.

    "Don't make him even think about his next match right now. He just beat Rafael Nadal, certainly one of the the greatest players ever. I saw Brown beat Lleyton Hewitt a couple of years ago here and I thought then he was really dangerous then. It would be nice to see him play close to that level against guys he is more expected to beat."

    Oh! A sliding forehand slice out wide. Rafa cannot scrape off his toes. 15-40 and two match points.

    Into the net on the first. Rafa plops up a very volleyable forehand, Brown shoulders arms, willing it long, it drops in.

    A Nadal ace.

    Chance gone. But the biggest one is still to come.

    Now Rafael Nadal is having to deal with some Bodyline tactics.

    The Spaniard cowers for cover as Dustin Brown's battered backhand volley skims a whisker past his sweatband. Proper chin music and the Spaniard is not feeling the groove. That is 30-30.

    Brown tucks into a Nadal serve like an all-you-can-eat buffet, slapping away a backhand winner that his opponent does not even move for. Deuce.

    Nadal makes his escape, but on the judges scorecards he is well behind.

  53. Brown breaks

    Nadal 5-7 6-3 4-6 0-1 Brown*

    Dustin Brown is not backward in coming forward. The German advances behind a nothing-much slice forehand and wins the point.

    Rafael Nadal, perhaps at a bit of loss tactically, has a bash at the same. Brown slugs a fine double-handed backhand punch down the line for a winner.

    Deuce. Rafa swaying on the ropes, jaw wide open and Brown swinging big haymaking forehands. Break point Brown. A mammoth rally. Rafa tries to lasso his way to safety, but ropes in a dud. A forehand between the tramlines and now it would almost be a Rafa win that would be the shock result...

    Dustin Brown

    He could be on course for a big shock at Wimbledon, but how much do you know about Dustin Brown?

    The German, whose highest ranking was 78th in the world in June 2014, competes mainly on the ATP Challenger Tour.

    Softly, softly, catchy Rafa.

    Dustin Brown carefully pats away a volley into open court to set up 40-15 and two set points. The serve is as indecipherable as hieroglyphics to Nadal though. His return floats into the top of the net and he is backed up to the cliff edge.

    Rafael Nadal is sleepwalking around Centre Court. The feet have stopped moving, the mental cogs are jammed and the racquet arm is as jerky as Bernhard Langer's yippy-era putter stroke.

    But somehow he had managed to cling to his serve, winning the final point as the ball tip-toes along the net cord and drops Brown's side.

    He is still only a single break down, but make no mistake, he is deep in trouble here.

    Another chance for the German. A more usual return. Into the net he goes. Nadal stretching. Ooph! A lovely delicate cushioned volley, sucks the sting out of a Nadal forehand and dies dead on the 2008 champion's side.

    Play is momentarily paused by the umpire because of an intruder on court three - a big bumble bee. The pesky insect bothers one of the line judges, who is forced into evasive action by jumping to his feet and leaving his seat.

    The action resumes - and then comes the real sting. Troicki breaks Bedene's serve to eye up a smooth passage into round three.

    Dustin Brown has just had a change of shirt on Centre Court revealing a sizeable tattoo across his left side. Any guesses who it is of?

    It looks a bit like one of those computer predictions of what you will look like 40 years in the future.

    Its owner remains a break behind in the second set.

    Aljaz Bedene's adventure past the opening round of a Grand Slam is entering choppy waters. The adopted Briton has plenty of decent qualities - but this Serbian character is no mug.

    Viktor Troicki, a former world number 12 no less, is damaging Bedene with some pounding serves and accurate baseline winners. Now he is one set away from reaching the Wimbledon third round for a fourth time.

    An uneventful day at the office for 13th seed Jo Wilfried Tsonga who has put way Albert Ramos-Vinolas 6-3 6-4 6-4.

    The Frenchman will play either Ivo Karlovic or Alexandr Dolgopolov. Dolgopolov has won the first set of their meeting out on court 18.

    Sixth seed Tomas Berdych is serving for the match at two sets to love up on Nicolas Mahut on court three.

    "This is what you would have seen more often in the old days - guys battling to get as close as they can to the net where they might be able to turn the odds in their favour.

  89. Murray the godfather

    Andy Murray and James Ward

    Andy Murray has confirmed the godfather-like role that he has amongst the other British men in the Wimbledon locker room.

    The Scot says he spoke to Aljaz Bedene's coach James Davidson to pass on some tactical thoughts ahead of his first-round win over Radek Stepanek and has pretty regular debriefs with Kyle Edmund and James Ward about their own games.

    "I'm not just doing it so I can say I really want to help them, I'm doing it because I'm friends with them," said the Scot. "I get on well with them, they're people I like. I genuinely care whether they win or lose the matches."

    "But the wristband actually hit the chairman of Wimbledon. He was there with her. Normally you see who catches it. Then the Duchess opened up her bag and my wristband was in there, so he obviously had given it to her."

    "Now it is a real question about his confidence and his level. He plays so physically in practice and matches and his body has started to break down. Grass will be tough on him from here on out, it really bothers his knee and today he is playing against a player who likes the big stage, who likes the show court."

    "Once Roger Federer gets into his rhythm he is playing the kind of tennis that makes you think he can be around for a good few years on the grass court.

    "Querrey is about 35 in the world about now, he knows his way around a grass court. He came in with a bit of form and I think when you saw Federer's reaction early on - there were a few 'come ons' - he knew he had to be intense and once he got that first break he was free-wheeling and showing us all his shots."

    "At the age of 33, five sets on clay or hard is hard on the body but on grass it is slightly easier. I still put him in with a good chance."

  125. Federer 'very happy'

    "I'm very happy with the way I played the first two matches," says Roger Federer after his victory. "I guess there's also a little bit of relief that I'm also playing well at Wimbledon.

    "Sam's a good player, he's had a good run on the grass. The first set was tough, he was serving very well and I didn't know how long he was keeping it up so the first break was crucial."
