Dustin Brown is a German professional tennis player. Brown competes mainly on the ATP Challenger Tour, both in singles and doubles. He reached his highest ATP singles ranking of World No. 89 in January 2011 and his highest doubles ranking of World No. 43 in May 2012.
Brown announced in June 2010, that due to a lack of funding and support from the Jamaican Tennis Association, he was tempted to switch nationality, and play professional tennis for Great Britain, his paternal grandparents being British. However, in October 2010 he decided to compete for Germany, his country of birth, a move confirmed on his official Facebook page. Brown's first event playing under the German flag was the Eckental. In his second main circuit appearance after a first round loss at the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships in 2003, Brown defeated 4th seed Marco Chiudinelli and ATP No. 139 Laurent Recouderc to reach the quarterfinals of the 2010 SA Tennis Open in Johannesburg, South Africa, where he lost to eventual runner-up Stéphane Robert. Brown became the second Jamaican after Doug Burke at the 1989 BP National Championships in Wellington, New Zealand, to reach the quarterfinals of a main Tour event.
On May 17, 2010 Brown cracked the top 100 for the time first time in his career and attained a singles ranking of World No. 99. Brown played at his third ATP tour event at the 2010 AEGON Championships (Queen's Club) and defeated his first round opponent Frank Dancevic 7–5, 6–7, 6–4 to progress to the 2nd round. He lost in the second round to Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan 7–6 6–4. Brown then played at the 2010 Hall of Fame Tennis Championships in Newport, Rhode Island where he defeated Bjorn Phau in the first round 7–6, 6–7, 6–4. He then proceeded to defeat world #19 Sam Querrey in the second round in straight sets, 6–4 6–3, a shocking upset of the #3 American. Brown was then defeated by Argentinian Brian Dabul in the quarterfinals.
