Rafael Nadal is playing in his 15th Wimbledon Championships and his first since 2019
Rafael Nadal is through to the third round of the Wimbledon Championships following a 6-4 6-4 4-6 6-3 victory over Lithuania’s Ricardas Berankis.
The 36-year-old made it successive four-set victories, after being pushed by Francisco Cerundolo in his first-round match on Tuesday.
Nadal will now take on Lorenzo Sonego in the third round as he looks to make his way through the draw and continue his quest for a 23rd Grand Slam title.
The result was Nadal’s 307th Grand Slam match win, putting him one ahead of Martina Navratilova and fourth on the all-time list. However, with more unforced errors than winners during the contest, his post-match assessment was frank.
“It’s important for me to accept that things are not yet perfect, be humble and accept the challenge,” he said.
