Dustin Brown (born 8 December 1984)[1] is a German-Jamaican professional tennis player who rose to fame after beating Rafael Nadal at the Halle Open in 2014 and at Wimbledon in 2015. He is known for his technique, speed, and unorthodox playing style, often entertaining the crowd with trick shots. His nickname is "Dreddy" due to his distinctive long dreadlocked hair.[2]
Brown competes mainly on the ATP Challenger Tour, in singles and doubles, having won 31 titles overall. He achieved his career-high singles ranking of No. 64 in October 2016 and his career-high doubles ranking of No. 43 in May 2012.[3][4] Brown is notable for being one of only two players who are undefeated against Rafael Nadal after playing more than one match with him (the other being Alex Corretja), holding a 2–0 head-to-head record.[5][6]
Brown has yet to reach an ATP singles final, but has made two semifinals at the 2016 Open Sud de France and the 2016 Swiss Open Gstaad. In doubles, he has won two titles on the ATP Tour.
