| Today he is best known as one of Australia's top men's singles players and dominated the sport within his home country up until his retirement. Perhaps his biggest legacy was defeating the Icelandic junior singles champion 15-1 15-0 in Indonesia after only doing net spins in his 20 minute warm up (Brehaut, 2008). Other highlights of his career include winning the Fiji International and some close first round exits in the German, China, Hong Kong, Denmark, World Championships, Olympics, Commonwealth Games, Malaysian Open, Indonesian Open, Dutch Open, Japan and All England majors. He also reached the round of 16 of the Chinese Taipei Open in 2005. | |||
| Stuart can also best be remembered for his long running rivalry with French national Player Erwin Kelhhoffner. The two national representatives faced each other many times in several major tournaments with a common theme in these meetings being Brehaut never conceding a single set. It has been said that the French Badminton team officials resorted to playing a second string singles player against Stuart in the famed Sudirman Cup out of fear of the possible outcome of another Brehaut v Kelhoffner affair. In these emotion filled confrontations it was Stuarts power, and seemingly endless range of shots which made the difference. Stuarts ability to "Hit it Hard!" was quite possibly the deciding factor(Tze, 2007). | |||
