Brown's first event playing under the German flag was Eckental.
Meanwhile, Cricket whites: out of fashion for black Britons
Taking a chance to follow the progress of Dustin Brown in this year's Wimbledon.
First set to Brown! Who then promptly gets broken at the start of the second set; Hewitt holds to take a two game lead.
Brown, whose game is characterized by a big serve, to serve... holds in the third game to reduce the deficit, score is Hewitt 2 Brown 1 in the second set; Brown leads by 1 set to 0.
Brown breaks Hewitt; holds his own serve to take a 3-2 lead in the second set. (as an aside i must let ya'll know that howzdat's opinion is the the commies fully expect Brown to lose; however according to what i am seeing Mr. Brown is not here to mek up the numbers).
Brown holds in the critical 9th game to take a 5-4 lead in the second set (this Mr. Brown is not working on remote). Hewitt 0-40 on serve! Brown returns with a forehand down the line Hewitt can't get it and consequently loses the game. Brown wins the set 6-4 to take a 2 - 0 lead in the match.
The crowd still rooting for Hewitt! Meanwhile the commie informs us that Mr Brown speaks German,
Jamaican and English!
Vorsprung durch Technik
.
Brown crucially holds in the first service game of the third set! and follows up with a hold in the third service game of the third set!
Hewitt holds his serve then the last 2 points of Brown's next service game were pure genius. He holds to go up 3-2.
Hewitt the holds to love so the scores are level at 3-3.
The crowd are rooting for the Aussie while I on the keyboard backing the dread
Looking at his style of play anyone would believe that Mr. Brown is taking a knock-up in his backyard.
Brown holds serve in game seven to take a 4-3 lead.
The commies continue to be condescending!
Hewitt serving 0 sets to 2; and 3 games to 4 in the third set. Serves a double fault at 15-15, retrieves the point loss with an error from Brown and then goes 40-30 up. Brown slips, loses the point and Hewitt levels 4-4.
Brown's style is a mixture of tennis, squash and improvisation! Wonderfully natural sportsmanship.
Brown holds to go 5-4 up. Hewitt to serve. Starts with a fault but holds to level the scores at 5 games all. Brown holds serve in a tense 11th game to go 6-5 up. Hewitt holds and now we go to a tie break which Hewitt wins!
In set 4 the first two games go with serve and then after a tussle Hewitt is broken so Brown takes a 2-1 lead and so from here on in if Brown holds all his service games the match is his! IF! Brown holds to go 3-1 up.
Hewitt's service action is barely holding up and after a ding dong battle he is broken! And so Dustin Brown goes two breaks up in the 4th set of the match and leads by 2 sets to 1. Dustin to serve, holds to love to go 5-1 up in the fourth.
Windians and Windiannas let me tell you that Mr. Brown is doing us proud!
Hewitt holds. Brown loses the first point of his service game but wins the second to level at 15-15. Brown wins a point and then loses one to level at 30. Brown then wins the next point and then Hewitt goes long on the next and Brown wins the match!
Well worth the hunch I had to follow this match all because of the topic. "Cricket whites: out of fashion for black Britons" Nice one BallOil and all who contributed to it for it led to me following the tennis match.
Congratulations and Jubilations for our Mr. Brown who completes a 6-4 6-4 6-7 6-2 win over Lleyton Hewitt on Court Two. He will play Adrian Mannarino of France next.
Dustin Brown speaking after his four-set win over Lleyton Hewitt: "I won a lot of matches in qualifying and the first round and that gave me a lot of confidence. So often I have been close to winning big matches but this is the first time that it has gone through. After losing the third-set tie-break it was tough but I had to just keep playing my tennis and tell myself that if I was going to lose in five sets so be it. I was serving good volleying good and returning good sometimes."
And what do the rest have to say? :
John Lloyd, BBC Sport
"There is nothing conventional about this man. The qualifier can afford to upgrade his campervan now, it's the win of his life, he's beaten the former Wimbledon champion and former number one Lleyton Hewitt. He was outgunned today. Hewitt had no answer to the unpredictable brilliance of Dustin Brown. He came out with a plan to go out and get Hewitt from the start and that's what he did."
Frew McMillan on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra: "Even after he lost the first two sets, I thought Hewitt would pick up where he left off against Wawrinka."
"It was an all fashioned grass court match with Brown's own artistry. He gave Hewitt very little chance to settle back into an routine against Brown's unorthodox style. Brown is something different."
Our Mr. Brown is not controlled by remote; he is powered by dread Rastafari!
Catch the highlights if you can, but trust me they do not tell the full story.
