German-Jamaican veteran Dustin Brown recently announced his retirement from tennis after the 2024 season, much to the disappointment of fans online.
Brown, 39, turned pro a little over two decades ago, in 2002. Touted as one of the most entertaining players on tour in the last decade, his biggest coup came in 2015, when he took down Rafael Nadal in four sets at Wimbledon. In and around the top 100 during his singles career, Brown tasted success on the doubles tour, winning two titles.
His last match on tour was against Nikoloz Basilashvili at the 2021 Stuttgart Open. He lost that match in straight sets and hasn’t featured in a professional singles match since.
