Nick Brown (born 3 September 1961) is a tennis coach and former professional tennis player from the United Kingdom.
Brown won the British Under-21 championship in 1980 and the national senior singles championship three years later in 1983. After playing on the ATP tour in the early 1980s, but tiring of his financial situation, he left the tour in 1984 to devote his time to coaching in Belgium and France and then young British players at David Lloyd's club in London, including Tim Henman. Five years later, Brown came out of retirement to play in the Davis Cup.
Brown caused a sensation at Wimbledon in 1991 when he was granted a wild card. Ranked No. 591 in the world at the time, he faced the 10th seed and previous year's semi-finalist Goran Ivanišević in the second round and defeated him in four sets. Brown became the first Briton to defeat a seeded player at Wimbledon since John Lloyd beat Eliot Teltscher in 1985. Brown eventually lost in the third round to France's Thierry Champion.
Brown's career-high rankings were world No. 120 in singles and No. 25 in doubles.
Since permanently retiring from competitive tennis, Brown has served as coach of Britain's Fed Cup team. (1999–2005). He has coached several international players including Tim Henman, Łukasz Kubot and Iga Świątek.
In 2010, Brown was the Polish Davis Cup and Olympic tennis coach.
Personal life
Brown is married to Nadia Macari-Brown.
