In terms of career prize money, Rafa Nadal and Steve Darcis are $54 million apart but it was the Belgian who had the bigger smile on Monday after beating the former champion at Wimbledon.
The archetypal journeyman player, who has battled through a series of injuries in a long and not especially fruitful career, Darcis could not have looked happier as he reflected on the shock upset he had produced on Wimbledon's opening day.
"I think a lot of people will talk about this match in a few years, and also me I think," the 29-year-old Darcis beamed after his triumph. "It was a great, great moment."
