Who else even has a dominant serve and volley game? He's the only guy I know who is maybe 40-70% S&V. I'm no expert but he really sticks out. When he's in the groove, he doesn't remind me even a little of anybody else.

@@jeffmoore9487 I mean...Pete Sampres. Or you mean currently, cause no one does it anymore.

@@SOSULLI The industry speeded up the balls, rackets, and courts. You don't have time to run to the net unless you have a very wicked serve. Pete's generation played with wooden rackets and heavier balls, I believe. I love watching S & V.

It's possible that the old faster tennis balls, slower courts, and less powerful racquets may have benefit his playing style

@@JeanAlesiagain3 The courts were faster.

@@gerrymarko5893 Grass courts were very inconsistent only as far back as the 90s, they had irregular bounce which made serve and volley so popular. Majority of players now hit good top spin passing shots for fun which makes serve and volley less viable. But back in the 90s I agree Dustin would be a beast.

So you are insulting sampras, agassi and courier. Remember becker as well. Dustin brown does not have the commitment of these players. If he had he wouldnt be world no 300

@@bhmglam317 dude no meed to exaggerate that much. Dustin Brown has not just won but also humiliated many of the nest tennis players including Nadal and Djokovic for fun. He really is a Beast! And you know what matters the most... the beauty of the game. Kust like Federer is touted as the player with the most beautiful style of play, Dustin's equally good on the entertainment side and then he is lethal as hell along with it. Great great talent.

Zverev more than justin tho

Dustin is Maradona, awesome

they have similar styles of play, in some ways. but su-wei does not have the power that brown has. su-wei would also never try to embarrass the other player, like brown did at 6:26.

You also have Gaël Monfils in this style => kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rMqih9hindLeimw.html

@@jimmybrice6360 I'm not really sure I'd say that Brown tries to embarrass anyone (certainly not in that clip, anyway) outside his style making other players look foolish on occasion, but you're absolutely right that Brown's power can create a different dynamic than when Su-wei plays.

@@HououinKyouma42 i dont dislike brown. i think he has some wonderful shot making. but he was a huge hot dog on that particular play. i did not like it. had he been playing me, i would have been making his job a bit more difficult than it already was. if an athlete is smart, he never does anything that might place his opponent in a higher gear. he does have tremendous acceleration during his serve. and demonstrates a point i had made on another thread about su-wei. her poor serve has nothing to do with her small frame size, but rather her very poor form. for a man, brown has a very small frame. but he can hit his serve, because of good form, and great acceleration of his arm

@@jimmybrice6360 Wait... small frame? Are talking about the same Dustin Brown? He's thin, yes, but he's very nearly 2 meters tall. I wouldn't say his good form overcomes his small frame. I would instead say that his form takes advantage of his longer frame - that's a very significant difference; he may not have sheer mass, but he has a lot of leverage (note: I am still agreeing that his form is good!) On the hot-dogging note, I find it almost impossible to believe that a header after a point is over would affect Zverev in any way; I highly doubt it would motivate him, annoy him, or any other emotion. It's just Brown having fun and messing around in a 100% harmless way, it wouldn't have been meant as anything other than a bit of entertainment. I do crap like that all the time when I play! (league matches, college ball, whatever). If my opponent tells me to knock it off, I will, but I've had that happen once in 20 years (and that particular person had... pardon the expression... quite a stick up her ass). Almost everyone I've ever seen on a tennis court just doesn't care about something so mundane. Point is, I don't think things like heading a tennis ball, juggling, etc... even registers on the bad sportsmanship scale. Just my thoughts though - if it annoys you, that's fine, that's just how it is for you. If you play someone who does that just let them know. I would bet they'll apologize, say they didn't mean to offend, and cut it out! I can promise there was no ill intent behind Brown's header though, if that's what you found offensive. Sorry for the long post - I didn't mean to preach!

Also in Halle, he beat him 2-0 I think.

One of the best at controlling the opponent with depth as opposed to left/right

and Brown is half jamaican but brought up in Germany with a German mother

I was thinking the same thing. When you are mad you normally speak your daily language, but he prefers English.

Zverev is 100% Russian to me. Just benefited from/exploited the good educational system in Germany. With his brother now living in Monaco. Says it all

Mr. Worldwide

Aleksandar Peev and Brown talks German in the match

ahahah except that circus shots don't make Dustin Browns win tournaments...it's just exhibition. :D Zverev is 22 and he's already ATP number 10...(what does he care about a 3rd line tournament like Stuttgart???). Dustin is 34...and never managed to win a tournament worth mentioning :D not even this tournament (it was Matteo Berrettini who won Stuttgart 2019 against a far more interesting and talented player than Dustin Brown, Felix Auger-Aliassime... So put your judgment in perspective. To make Dustin "the wig" Brown "famous" for isolated single games in tournaments that he never wins...it's funny (and it is only because of his wig) :)

Paulo Bastos dude he still won over 3.000.000$ just by playing tennis, google it, sir. So I guess u should think about taking about dustin in such a tone.

@@finnlindemann7279 Sir (oh it sounds pompously funny) at least 80% of the bottom players in the professional tennis circuit do 3.000.000 easy (that's why they keep playing around the circuit despite the fact that they're not even exceptional players). From all of these, so many, far more talented and consisted than Dustin Brown never became KZfaq "stars" like Brown... Just because they don't grow hair for 20 years in a row. Maybe Dustin's wig is there because without it he would feel like having a pin head. Out of KZfaq Dustin in reality was never much... and without the "rasta" look... he wouldn't even make it on KZfaq. ;) Sir. And that's the truth no matter how many "prepared" videos on Dustin are posted... He never won tournaments and all of this KZfaq hot air fashion publicity on Dustin it becomes a bit insulting for all the real hard working tennis players with real and consistent results in the ATP circuit... Sir ;)

Hate him all you want, but players like Dustin are going to attract a lot of new fans to the sport, even if they don't win titles. People that have never seen a game of tennis before are not going to care about titles or records, but they are going to care about entertainment value. To a lot of people, Brown's unorthodox style is entertaining as hell and a breath of fresh air from the baseline dominated game of today.

Nadal was simply mentally outplayed. Nadal is one of the best in getting into a game, coming back from a bad set. However, when you"re being humiliated constantly, he apparantally is going to make unforced errors on the regulay. I mean, someone of that level, winning 22 grand slams, you can not make three double serve mistakes in a row!

I think the word you're looking for is "Entertaining."

i agree. he is basically the most skilled tenniis player. no one has more touch. its unreal.

Such a great comment. Exactly what I replied to a comment in this comment section. You just not texted what I exactly felt, but put it even more beautifully.

@@rolandharris6843 "most skilled"? A bit over the top. I would agree with being "entertaining".

@@yongli4304 i think he has the most touch by far. hits a variety of other types of shots as well. he has a different motivation than the champions and far worse shot selection. and he is not as strong physically. but skill wise, like quality and variety of shot, he on top.

@Emmanuel Nwankpa...You can wait sitting on your chair. It will never happen. Brown is as talented as the other player allows him to be. And at top competition he needs way more than that. Random circus shots stir KZfaqrs (the only place where he's "famous"), but are worthless when under "real" competition...which Dustin will never achieve.

Yah emmanuel it would be awesome, he is amazing

@@paulobastos1774 you must be funny at parties !!

Forget it now, unless he has another magic day at Wimbledon, and puts Nadal out- that too, if the Corona Virus allows, but no tennis is going to be played, for at least 3 months.

@@paulobastos1774 lol thats the spirit boy!

Great post! 😎

It’s about training reflexes. That’s their job. Surely you wouldn’t expect to drive a sports car like Dale Earnhardt just because you have an Audi R8.

Once you're good enough that you can serve with power and accuracy, you have a major advantage over any receiver. When you get really really good, you should be able to serve a decent percentage of balls that *no one* can return. That's why they have the term "breaking serve" for when the receiver is able to win a game: two closely matched opponents will keep winning their service games at the same rate, leaving them tied (so winning a game where you're the receiver becomes a big deal). If no-one breaks serve, then it comes down solely to who makes two more (consecutive) errors than their opponent in order to decide the match.

@@Sena-co1ug Agreed, there are some amazing reflexes on show at this level of tennis (and fitness). However, so much of it also comes down to being able to spot the little "tells" from the other player and predict ahead of time where the ball is going to go: there's just no time to react - you've got to be setting up for your next shot before it's even left your opponent's racquet. That too is a skill these top players have had to learn from a lot of practice. It's also why sometimes a player will struggle to beat an opponent with an unfamiliar style of play, or on an unfamiliar court surface - even when the statistics would suggest it should be easy for them.

No

They gave him the point, so it's legal?

ahahah Dustin is showing up relaxed from some fortgotten bottom tournament (and 1/4 of Zverev's games per year), while Zverev is in between "real" top tournaments, Zverev is just passing by (Stuttgart is a mid low category tournament). So, it's not "Brown" magic...is just Zverev playing easy and losing it (Brown would wish that some day he could play like Zverev). :D

Tsonga, (In his golden day form) or Jack Sock

Benoit paire

Mcenroe

Dimitrov for sure

he's not unpredictable at all

Ohh...you're having wet dreams already? :D

He hit ONE flashy shot in this match. The leaping one. The rest was simply brilliant tennis.

Because he's not that talented to be number 1. Besides grass courts, he hasn't been anywhere else to prove himself.
