LONDON (Reuters) - Dreadlocked Wimbledon qualifier Dustin Brown has no coach and used to travel to tournaments in a camper van but on Wednesday he enjoyed his greatest success at a grand slam by knocking out former champion Lleyton Hewitt.

"Did that just happen?" he asked after a fairytale second-round victory that reduced him to tears. "I cried like a little girl," he confessed after beating the veteran Australian he used to watch on television when he was a child.
