Dustin Brown: Centre Court "felt familiar"

Dustin Brown has admitted that Centre Court "felt familiar" despite having never played on the court before his second-round match against Rafael Nadal.

The German shocked the two-time champion in four sets yesterday, matching his best ever run at the grass-court Grand Slam.

The 30-year-old told reporters: "I had never been on the Centre Court at all before. I thought I would freak out a little. But actually it felt familiar, perhaps because of the match in Halle, even though that isn't as big a court. I felt comfortable."

Brown, who had to go through the qualifiers to secure his place in the draw, faces Serbia's Viktor Troicki in the third round.
