In a match that was suspended due to lack of light Friday after the first set, defending champion Rafael Nadal hit 36 winners and never lost a serve, defeating the 92nd-ranked wild card from Luxembourg 7-6 (6), 7-6 (5), 6-0 on Court 1.
Muller is the latest player to beat Nadal at Wimbledon, the only other was Roger Federer. Muller’s success was in the second round in 2005.
Nadal could next face another Grand Slam champion, 2009 US Open winner, Juan Martin del Potro, who faced Gilles Simon in the third round Saturday.
