HAVING SENT RAFAEL Nadal crashing out of Wimbledon earlier this week, German Dustin Brown is in action against Viktor Troicki on Court Three today.

The 30-year-0ld German, who spent three years travelling around Europe in a camper van while attempting to carve out a career in tennis, has earned himself a reputation as a bit of an entertainer.
This afternoon, Brown produced an incredible drop shot off the serve to somehow spin the ball back over the net — leaving his Serbian opponent flummoxed.
He also made a superb recovery after falling over to dive across the court and win a rally.

However, Brown has been eliminated by the 22nd seed, losing 6-4, 7-6, 4-6, 6-3.
Great win, the last frame was brilliant,fair play to him.
Fair play. Seems like a nice humble chap too.
Super win for Jordan. Such a solid performance and a great story of persistence & self belief. Ronnie made a lovely speech complimenting him as well.
@Geraldine Lavin: Ronnie also said anyone outside the top 50 were useless and he could still beat them if he had a limb missing
A great match,he deserved the win,hard to believe he was on the verge of packing it in five years ago while working in a petrol station
Nice to see tge underdog winning
Fair play to him. Great to have on his cv and even better to have beaten ronnie in a final frame.
Didn’t see it but fair play, you can see the emotion in his face and what it meant. Delighted for him!!
