Rafael Nadal reached the third round of Wimbledon with a 6-4 6-4 4-6 6-3 against Lithuania's Ricardas Berankis on Thursday.
It was the second time in the tournament that Nadal had dropped a set after his victory against Francisco Cerundolo earlier in the week as he begins his pursuit of a 23rd grand slam title.
