Brown came out swinging and even when Nadal dug deep to level the match at one set all he did not hold back, going for his shots and harrying his illustrious opponent at every opportunity.
Along with the power there was finesse which had the Centre Court crowd roaring their approval and Brown rattled through the final set to secure a fully deserved victory.
"You have to play your A game against him," said Brown, who also beat Nadal in their only previous meeting in Halle last year.
"I'm fortunate I played him twice on grass, which is my favourite surface -- I wouldn't want to play him anywhere else. My game makes him not play his game. He doesn't get in a rhythm."
