Wimbledon 2015 Results: Winners, Scores, Stats from Thursday's Singles Bracket
Wimbledon's second round concluded Thursday with some unexpected results, including a couple of big names that were shockingly ousted from the prestigious tournament.
Thursday's roller-coaster ride began early, as the world's top players produced a wide array of results. While the men's bracket began without a hiccup, as No. 3 Andy Murray took down Robin Haase with ease, the women's side was turbulent. No. 5 Caroline Wozniacki was heavily tested by Denisa Allertova, and No. 8 Ekaterina Makarova was shockingly sent packing by Magdalena Rybarikova.
Things didn't settle down later in the day, either. No. 2 Roger Federer flew through his match against Sam Querrey, defeating the American in consecutive sets; however, No. 10 Rafael Nadal fell to Dustin Brown in the Centre Court's following match.

Thursday's Notable Results
(2) Roger Federer def. Sam Querrey; 6-4, 6-2, 6-2

Federer was in impeccable form Thursday, much to the chagrin of Querrey, who quickly found himself on the wrong end of a lopsided match. The seven-time Wimbledon champion was in control from the beginning, hitting several miraculous shots, including a lob between his legs that earned him a point and delighted everyone in attendance.
After the match, Federer spoke of that phenomenal shot during a press conference, via Dan Imhoff of Wimbledon.com:
"It all happens very quickly. I can't put it on super slow and go, All right, what's best?. Through the legs, you're not sure if it's going to come short or high. I got lucky. I hit it perfect. Yeah, I felt like there was a chance, legitimate chance, to win the point. And it was fun. It just happened to be the right thing.
"
There was nothing Querrey could do but chase after well-struck shots from his opponent, and that was evident in the final statistics. Federer won 79 percent of his first-serve points, 41 percent of receiving points, 19 of a possible 22 net points and tallied 32 winners compared to just 10 unforced errors. Meanwhile, Querrey could only manage to win 27 percent of his receiving points off of Federer's strong services.
The former world No. 1 is certainly looking sharp of late, and he'll have an excellent opportunity to continue gaining momentum in the third round against Sam Groth.
(2) Petra Kvitova def. Kurumi Nara; 6-2, 6-0

It took less than one hour for Petra Kvitova to take down Kurumi Nara in what was a very one-sided match. She came out firing, gaining a 3-0 lead early before a few hiccups on the volley allowed Nara to gain ground. However, the No. 2 seed recovered quickly to take the first set and never looked back, winning her last eight games to take the match.
The two-time Wimbledon champion shared her thoughts on this year's tournament during a press conference, via Matt Trollope of Wimbledon.com:
"I'm very pleased how is everything going so far. I can't really say surprised. I think I'm kind of handling it better than 2012 when I was defending my first title.
I'm nervous before each match when I'm going to play here, especially first round. But it was there today (as well). Every match I'm going to play is great. I'm trying to really enjoy it. Of course, playing here on the grass which really suits my game. I really love to play here. It's very nice feeling.
"
The grass at the All England Club appears to suit Kvitova's game well, and that was evident during Thursday's performance. She finished the match winning 75 percent of her first-serve points, 77 percent of second-serve points, 55 percent of receiving points, six of a possible nine net points, 10 aces and tallied 23 winners. Her only blemishes were the 14 errors she committed—mostly during a rough patch in the first set.
As for Nara, she didn't have an answer for anything thrown her way. She only won 45 percent of her first-serve points and 24 percent of her receiving points while recording just three winners. It was total domination on Kvitova's part.
The No. 2 seed now moves on to face No. 28 Jelena Jankovic in the third round. Kvitova is playing at as high of a level as anyone in the tournament—including Serena Williams—and getting a struggling Jankovic next should allow her to continue that trend.
Dustin Brown def. (10) Rafael Nadal; 7-5, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4

In the biggest shock of the day, Brown took down former world No. 1 Nadal in just four sets. The No. 10 seed has been struggling in recent years at the All England Club, and those woes continued Thursday on Centre Court, as Brown wrestled the first set away from Nadal and came back strong late after dropping the second.
The loss marked the fourth time in a row Nadal was ousted from Wimbledon by a player ranked 100th or lower in the world.

Nadal had the early momentum in the match; however, he failed to capitalize on the struggling Brown, who was able to gain confidence and break the Spaniard to take the first set. Nadal drew even after the second set, but it was all Brown from there, winning the third set and jumping out to a 3-1 lead in the fourth before finally taking the match after a reeling Nadal saved two match points.
Brown finished the match with 13 aces, won 77 percent of his first-serve points, 38 percent of his receiving points, tallied 58 winners and 24 unforced errors. Those numbers become quite impressive after considering they were against Nadal. As for the No. 10 seed, he recorded nine aces and won 72 percent of his first-serve points but won just 31 percent of his receiving points while tallying 42 winners.
Following the victory, Brown moves on to face Viktor Troicki in the third round in a very winnable match. On the other hand, Nadal exits Wimbledon surrounded by even more questions. Could his reign as one of the world's top players be swiftly coming to an end, or will he find a way to right the ship? Time will tell.
