Spoils Go to Viktor as Brown Exits Wimbledon
LONDON — Dustin Brown's Wimbledon flame fizzled out in a four-set defeat by Viktor Troicki on Saturday, two days after the dreadlocked journeyman illuminated the All England Club by beating twice champion Rafa Nadal.
The 30-year-old German and his distinctive waist-length hair sent tremors through tennis when he roughed up the Spaniard with a serve-volley barrage to reach the third round, but the 22nd-seeded Troicki brought the fairytale to an abrupt end.
The Serb wrapped up a 6-4 7-6(3) 4-6 6-3 win to add Brown's name to a group of players who beat Nadal when ranked 100 or below and then exited the tournament at the very next stage.
