Watch: Brown Loses Point, Wins Style Points

It must be fun being Dustin Brown.

Even when Brown loses points, he often wins style points.

Case in point, watch Dreddy dazzle in Bastad today hitting a pair of side-spinning droppers, racing forward for a gorgeous sliding lob then running back to the baseline to tomahawk an over-the-shoulder shot.

On his final strike, Brown appeared to be contemplating the tweener before opting for tomahawk.

Still, Aljaz Bedene stayed the course to win a compelling point.

Brown beat the sixth-seeded Bedene, 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-3, to reach the Swedish Open quarterfinals. Brown punctuated the win with an entertaining post-match interview, too.

Bidding for his first semifinal since Montpellier in February, Brown will play David Ferrer in the quarterfinals. The top-seeded Spaniard was a 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 victor over 378th-ranked French qualifier Calvin Hemery.
