Brown's rally hit piint map on serving features clusters either side of the service line. Two unforced errors on Nadal's forehand give Brown another break point and yet again a second serve to attack on it.
But if I lose no one's going to say anything bad. The Duchess of Cornwall revealed she is a big fan when introduced to him at at Wimbledon. The final match on Centre Court had exploded into life, Brown taking both his opponent and the packed crowd by breathless surprise, breaking the Nadal serve in only the second game, rushing to the corner of the net, leaping and flashing his racquet across his body as though it were a Samurai sword, tearing the ball fast and low across the court for the kind of winner no opponent can quickly forget. Remarkable. Whether Nadal can return to anything like his old heights is something only his own mind and body can know with any certainty. It was the Spaniard, not his opponent, who had dimmed the switch, losing a first set that had been a fine contest, winning the second, but handing over the rest in a litany of unforced errors. </p><h6>Nadal 5-7, 6-3, 2-1 Brown* (*denotes next serve) </h6><p>Ruthless from Nadal, who holds to love. Now about Nadal's forehand... An 18-game fifth set in the doubles yesterday hasn't taken any discernible toll on Brown who pins Nadal with a backhand overhead and then a scorching backhand return up the line that was, Andrew Castle speculates, harder than the serve. The long and luminous histories that will be written of one of the brightest stars in the sporting firmament will not have cause to dwell too long on this second round Wimbledon defeat to a hard-hitting, campervan-driving German Rastafarian, but it will cause a quite extraordinary statistic to leap from the page for evermore. And it works to win a point to take it to 30-15 but theserve down the centre line also proves productive. 40 0. </p><p><div class="preform"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Don't make Rafa angry... <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Wimbledon?src=hash">#Wimbledon</a> <a href="http://t.co/W4TIyHVwqn">pic.twitter.com/W4TIyHVwqn</a></p>— Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) <a href="https://twitter.com/Wimbledon/status/616662659019243520">July 2, 2015</a></blockquote><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div></p><h6>Nadal* 5-7, 6-3, 2-2 Brown (*denotes next serve) </h6><p>Quick hold to love from Brown, who played a five-set doubles match yesterday and hasn't so far shown signs of fatigue.

A blistering return takes Brown to love-30 before Nadal fights back with a deep crosscourt backhand that his opponent can't return even with his squash shot. The backhand return from Brown at ad-down flies out to give Nadal the hold. A gentlemanly hand pops up from Nadal when his net-cord throws Brown off and the German mishits his volley. "Basically, besides one or two service games in the whole match, there weren't many games where I had chances," Brown said. The talk of 'swinging for the fences' is alive again as Brown makes it 15-30 with a punishing backhand drive up the line that Nadal counters with an ace up the centre line and a booming top-spun forehand groundstroke that Brown fires too long. Brown then fires another double-backhand return an inch into the tramlines, challenges but the line-judge had called it right. Brown got a set back, giving hope to his vast vocal support, only to see Troicki's greater experience tell in the fourth. The serves, including the second ones, though are such a heavy weapon for Brown that McEnroe calls him the 'freight train'. Brown goes on the chip-charge on the second serve but knocks it out and Nadal follows it with an ace to move to 40-15.

this time with the backhand at the net, viciously spun and unreachable for Brown. Amazing. The Spaniard may wonder what he has done to deserve this emerging trope of nameless players choosing the same tournament, the same hallowed court - and the same unfortunate opponent - suddenly to rise to the match of their lives. However, the floaty drop volleys and clinical baseline winners were not executed with enough regularity to seriously threaten Troicki. And his flamboyant appearance, on-court antics and entertaining array of shots have captured the imagination of Wimbledon fans. Five illegal serves in a row is followed by a short second that Brown sets up an approach with a penetrating long return.
