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.
