Dustin Brown plays shot of the tournament at Wimbledon

Brown was unable to reach the heights of his stunning win on Centre Court and joined Nadal’s previous low-ranked conquerors – Lukas Rosol, Steve Darcis and Nick Kyrgios – in failing to go through another round at SW19 after beating the Spaniard.

“I’m not really sure what happened out there”, Kvitova said.

“Whatever I do is to take him out of his comfort zone”, Brown said.

Dustin Brown of Germany serves to Viktor Troicki of Serbia during their singles tennis match at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships in Wimbledon, London, Saturday July 4, 2015.

Also Saturday, Wimbledon’s marathon man fell short this time.

“But then sometimes people that look at that don’t look at the bunch of weeks where we play a Challenger event where in the first round in Italy, for example, you get 300 euros minus 30 per cent tax. On the other side, it’s only two sets and a champions tiebreaker, which is a lot easier than playing best of five out here”.

The champion of 2011 and 2014 led by a set, by 3-1 in the second, and had 40-15 against the Jankovic serve in the next game, with two break points for what would have been surely a match-winning advantage.

Viktor Troicki did what Rafael Nadal couldn’t, beating Dustin Brown at Wimbledon on Saturday to advance to the fourth round.

For U.S. tennis legend John McEnroe, it is time for Nadal to consider cutting the cord with his uncle.

He added that it was great to play at Wimbledon, and the prize money of 77,000 pounds (US$119,927.50) would be helpful, but financing his career remained an uphill battle.

Ex- world number one Nadal, famed for his athleticism, could not find his rhythm among Brown’s variety of play, picking up the second set with a flash of his familiar passing shots and a helpful, albeit momentary, easing in his 30-year old opponent’s arrow like attack.

Brown battled back in another close-fought third set – giving himself hope as a powerful forehand down the line proved too strong for Troicki to return.

Troicki, a Davis Cup teammate of defending champion Novak Djokovic, will next face Canada’s Vasek Pospisil for a place in the last eight. Federer didn’t return it, but he managed to get some racket on it, making it a service victor instead of an ace.

Troicki broke in the 10th game of the first set then erased an early break in the second.

Three days after the biggest win of his career, Dustin Brown, dreadlocks and all, will be back in action on Sunday, strutting his stuff once more.
