The winners and losers from the latest action at Wimbledon.

WINNERS

Dustin Brown
The way Dustin Brown played against Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon, it's a wonder the 30-year-old German hasn't had a big breakthrough earlier in his career.

According to Brown himself, it's just a matter of being inconsistent.

The 102nd-ranked Brown says "it took a while for me to learn to know that I can win a match like this on a given day, but I can also play a shocking match."

Before stunning Nadal on Centre Court Brown had only won consecutive tour-level matches once this year.

He said "I guess the main thing for me is to accept that my game has that span."

Roger Federer.
