Second-ranked Rafael Nadal has advanced to the third round at Wimbledon with a 5-7, 6-2, 7-6 (2), 6-3 win over Ernests Gulbis.
Nadal, who has lost the last two Wimbledon finals to Roger Federer, was broken in the 12th game of the first set Thursday but rallied to dominate the second and fend off the big-serving Latvian in the third-set tiebreaker.
He broke in the eighth game of the last set and then held, closing with a forehand winner down the line.
