5 grand slam tournaments in a row and not one title for Rafa Nadal.
He really must be finished…
In all seriousness though, the Spaniard is struggling and he has packed his bag for the last time at Wimbledon 2015 with a second round exit at the hands of Dustin Brown.
The 29-year-old limped out of England’s premier tennis competition after a four set match with the German and any fears that Andy Murray would have to face the 14-time major winner in the quarter finals were shown to be very, very premature.

It is the third time in four years Nadal has failed to make the second week of Wimbledon and, even placing at 10th seed coming into this one and sitting 10 in the rankings himself, his departure is still a bit of a shock.

And, whilst Roger Federer was virtually taking the piss in his game with one of the best shots we’ve ever seen, it was all doom and gloom on Planet Rafa.
This guy was just born this year obviously.

Tell us what you really think, Sam.
Nadal should just retire.He'll never get back to the same levels and it's embarrassing seeing him get beaten like this
