While the ATP Challenger Tour usually doesn't provide many surprises, it can still be a showcase for talented and flashy players—just ask Dustin Brown.

Sergiy Stakhovsky, a Ukrainian who has reached a career-high ranking of No. 33, was taking on Maxime Janvier in the second round of the Taipei Challenger when he unleashed back-to-back tweeners.

Not many 33-year-olds are hitting shots like this, and thankfully Stakhovsky's perseverance paid off, winning the point and eventually the match, 7-5, 6-4.

The No. 3 seed will take on Tatsuma Ito in the third round.
