This Player Gave Rafael Nadal NIGHTMARES! 

Good one 😂 Brown one of the most exciting and unpredictable players

Kicked his ass

Brown : do you even tennis? Nadal: do you even grand slam?

Hahah - yes, but I rate this guy equal with Federer as a natural talent ...

​@@lachezarkrastev7123maybe but without the discipline to maximize his talent how do wull we ever know? He was content to be a sideshow.

Yes..I'm tired of watching slow baseline tennis...

Well, more serve and volleyers sure. Just not showboating asses like this guy

We've had Monfils for decades now.

@@JahBillabongon what world are Dustin Brown and Monfils the same player?

and less nadals

5:21 reminds me of the backhand Federer hit off Blake’s return in that one match

Dustin Brown Hade More Technical Talent Than Federer.

@@M.EngelhARTBased on one match? Come on…

@@milan6439 ???

Forget highlights and watch him play a full match. Tons of unforced errors and poor shot selection. When it all comes together, sure, he's frighteningly good; but that requires a convergence of so many disparate elements that it's much more likely you'll get the error-prone version.

Technique!

Power in tennis has nothing to do with muscularity as opposed to technique.

@@Dom-yv4nqOf two people with equal skill, the more muscular one would arguably hit harder.

Because he's black

@@Uiru11 not necessarily. More muscular people tend to be tighter, less loose than the opposing person, hence they may or may not. I won't swear by it but generally speaking the leaner person may hit harder

Some players just have those bogey players they struggle to play against. Their styles dont match and top players can lose to lower rank players. But saying that some days your on fire , everything you touch comes off. Alot of lower rank pros have those days - Brown was definitely on.

@@Terminatortx33 Yes, agree, in 2008 when Federer was in fire, he lost two times in a row against frenchman Simon Gilles, so these cases can be

I knew you would comment on this video 😜

@@TennisTime1 saw Dustin and *IMMEDIATELY* perked up this morning 😂

Hey nice seeing you're still around :)

Holy shit dude, you're still around! With so many tennis channels getting the ban hammer I sort of assumed the YT Tennis community had disappeared, but here you are! Good to see ya man

@alejandrocrespo7633 I'm much more busy than I used to be so I don't comment much anymore, but I'm still here! Good to see you 👋🏿

and positive!

Actually i think he started out farther out and then moved closer. A clay court style of returner. The last several years he will vary his return position based on the court, opponent or whether he is feeling confident

I will prefer Gael monfils over Dustin brown...at least Monfils have achievements unlike brown

it's too bad his injuries held him back

​@@IGNSanityi don't think only injuries were the reason..

He still would have dominated clay but yeah I see what you mean

Djoko could win Dustin brown, easly. Because they are both player eslastic

@@lartisan6274 djoko already beats brown easily 6-2 6-2 in doha 2016

​@@stanislavsky92 Yes, but they only played each other once, and not on grass

To be fair, this is grass, his weakest surface. Hard courts and on clay, he would eat Brown up. And that’s 3 out of 4 grand slams. So Nadal would have done just as well back in the day too. Plus, it’s Nadal man, one of the goats. Of course he would have done well no matter the era.

It’s said Cajones. These gringos..

now you know Federer never had corones ;)

@@antoinev9733At last someone that knows how to say it!

He also smashed him at Wimbledon the following year

@@pr-tj5by some players have those bogey players they find difficult to play against their style too.

@@Terminatortx33 Tbh Rafa has been knocked out of Wimbledon early by low ranking players a few times

@@Terminatortx33Also the Surface. Brown would have no Chance against Nadal on Clay.

He was pretty much always around for years, just never that consistent. Past peak Rafa wasn't the best after coming from clay. Even Muller, Rosol, & Darcis beat Rafa at wimbledon... still glad somehow Rafa got it together for 2018 & 19 wimbledon to go deep again. But Brown was a better fit for doubles play & did before he retired, even if he could play his heart out in singles sometimes Edit: actually he's not retired apparently, but still he's 38. Not going to make strides in singles any longer, but in doubles maybe Still heck of an entertaining tennis player, was one of my favs. But look at say Monfils vs Brown roland garros, he gets crushed. But still entertaining match

nowhere, he just wasn't ever that good, rafa is simply overrated

With your mother

Nadal would have no answer!

​@@pr-tj5by True and neither would Djokovic or any other baseliner.

@@martydav9475 I agree but Federer and Djokovic are certainly better than Nadal on grass

@@martydav9475 serve and return ?? Djoko would have some ansmwers ;)

Hasnt played for 2 years I think

@@RazOls Never heard of him.

He also smashed him at Wimbledon the next year

A buddy of mine played like this. He called it Fire and Forget 😁

Nope, he won 8 GS outside clay.

No he isn’t

oh sabr !! the word invented by specials tennis journalists, ignoring everything about tennis history ?? :)

novak already kicked brown's ass in doha 2016 by 6-2 6-2

Djokovic ?? the goat with even no smashes ??? think about it ;)
