Brands began 2008 ranked #220. After a few unimpressive tournaments to start the year, he beat #132 Aisam Qureshi and #193 Simon Stadler en route to a semifinal Challenger finish in Germany in February. In March, he made the quarters of a Challenger in Japan before losing to #124 Yen-Hsun Lu and then reached the quarters of a Challenger in Sarajevo, beating #169 Matthias Bachinger.
In May, Brands reached the quarters at two more Challengers, beating #66 Michael Berrer and #114 Brian Dabul, while also winning the doubles title in one and reaching the doubles final in the other. Then, with his ranking at a career-high of #210, he beat #123 Nicolas Massu, #151 Pablo Andujar (who beat him a week earlier), and #198 Alex Bogomolov to qualify into the main draw of the 2008 French Open.
