A stunning run of success across 6 tournaments in 8 weeks saw a revitalised Liam Broady finish 2025 in glorious style to fly up the ATP rankings.
Going into the first of the series of events in Budapest, Hungary, Liam was ranked at 542 in the global rankings after a difficult period with injuries, but after a significant training block he was able to hit the ground running, and stormed to his second tournament victory of the 2025 season.
After battling through a tight three setter in an opening round win over Georgia’s Zura Tkemaladze, Liam recorded straight set wins to take him to the final. And after dropping the opening set of the final to homegrown Hungarian Matyas Fuele a relentless Broady won the second and third sets 6-0 to claim the title.
Next, he moved to Hurghada, Egypt where after three straight sets victories he went out in the semi finals to Hungary’s Peter Makk. A week later, he went one better. After three routine straight sets wins, Liam battled past South African Kris Van Wyk, before falling in the final to fellow countryman Toby Samuel.
A return to Budapest a week later, saw Liam back in the winners enclosure. After gaining revenge for the Egyptian semi final defeat by comprehensively dismantling Pater Makk in the second round, Liam again faced Hungarian Matyas Fuele in the final, dropping just three games on the way to lifting the trophy.
After a week’s break, the rollercoaster continued as Liam raced through five straight sets victories to lift the Trophy in Rodez in the South of France, defeating Frenchman Arthur Nagel, 6-4 6-4 to rack up the third tournament win in just six weeks.
A week later, a few hundred miles further North in Villiers les Nancy Broady again made the final having repelled last week’s finalist Nagel, this time in the semi-final. However, having roared to a first set 6-2 win in the final over France’s Robin Natry, Liam was pegged back going down 2-6 4-6 to finish as runner-up.
The 6 events in 8 weeks saw Liam roar back into the top 400 and reflecting on an arduous but triumphant run, Liam said:” It has gone better than I could have hoped, I wanted to get some games and get some form and hope to make it back up the rankings with a view to making it back to around 350-400 by the season’s end, but I have achieved that milestone already and with a couple of higher ranked tournaments to come, I am finishing the year feeling really great and aiming to kick on and try to make Roland Garros qualifying tournament next Spring.”
