Pippa Middleton cheers on Andy Murray from Royal Box at Wimbledon

Pippa Middleton made her Wimbledon appearance at Centre Court yesterday in style. 

Dressed in a navy Orla Kiely dress and buttoned-up jacket, the Duchess of Cambridge's younger sister took her seat in the royal box with her brother James to watch Andy Murray battle for his place in the third round.

 Last year, she attended the tournament with her ex-boyfriend, Alex Loudon.

Pippa becomes a centre of attention after she made a royal wedding's surprise standout wearing a white dress that rivaled sister Kate Middleton's wedding dress.

Rafael Nadal stunned by 100th-ranked Lukas Rosol at Wimbledon

Unknown Czech player Lukas Rosol overpowered 11-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 in the second round at Wimbledon last night. 

''That's (what) happens when you play against a player who is able to hit the ball very hard, hit the ball without thinking and feeling the pressure,'' Nadal said. ''At the end, when the opponent wants to play like he wanted to play in the fifth (set), you are in his hands, no? Everything was going right for him.''

This is the first time since 2005 that Nadal lost in the second round at any major tournament.

He reached the final at the previous five Grand Slams, and also reached the final the last five times he entered Wimbledon, winning the grass-court tournament in 2008 and 2010.

However after a successful, long clay season Nadal deserves to take a break, relax and prepare to defend his gold Olympic medal that will start in less than a month time.
