Hot Shot: Dustin's dynamic passing shot

Although Dustin Brown wasn't able to defeat Canadian sensation Felix Auger-Aliassime in Friday's  Stuttgart quarterfinal match, the German played outstanding tennis. Brown who possesses an aggressive playing style, wasn't afraid to rush the net and finish points quickly.

The World No. 170 served and approached the net but Felix ripped a backhand down-the-middle, which caught Brown just before the service line. However, Brown was able to answer back with an unexpected drop shot that forced Auger-Aliassime to the net and passed him with a dramatic backhand slice.

Brown's 2019 grass-court debut is off to an amazing start, and marks his first ATP Tour wins since the 2017 US Open. The German's game can be a nightmare for top opponents, especially on fast grass courts. Brown has showcased he can beat top players such as Rafael Nadal and he reminded every one this week in Stuttgart.
