Rafael Nadal's hopes of winning a third Wimbledon title are over for another year after an epic five-set defeat by 16th seed Gilles Muller of Luxembourg. The 15-time major champion fought back from two sets down before Muller took a fifth match point to win 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 15-13 in 4 hours and 47 minutes. It ended the Spaniard's bid to win back-to-back French Open and Wimbledon titles for a joint-record third time. Muller, 34, will play Croatia's seventh seed Marin Cilic in the last eight. Both Nadal and Muller received a standing ovation and rapturous applause after the longest and arguably finest match of this year's tournament.
