Liam Broady is a professional Tennis player and current British No. 4 who plays on the professional ATP and ATP Challenger Tours. Born in Heaton Chapel, Stockport, in England on the 4th January 1994, Liam’s Tennis started at the age of 8 at the Matchpoint Tennis Centre in Bramhall and attended Norris Bank Primary and then Priestnall School in Stockport.
Liam was a top junior player winning the Boys doubles title in 2010 at Wimbledon and the Australian Open and reaching the Boys singles finals at Wimbledon (2011) and US Open in 2012.
In 2013 Broady won his first professional Futures title, and the following year in 2014 he reached his first Challenger Tour final, losing to James Duckworth in Charlottesville, Virginia.
In 2015 Broady won his first game at Grand slam level, coming from two sets behind to beat Aussie Marinko Matosevic in five sets at Wimbledon.
In 2018 Broady made his GB Davis Cup debut, impressing despite falling to defeat to Spaniard Albert Ramos- Vinolas, he also qualified for his first ever Masters title going on to reach the second round after a win over American Bjorn Frantangelo.
By 2020, Broady was rising up the rankings reaching a new career high of 152 in the world, and qualifying for a Grand slam tournament for the first time without having to rely on a wild card. He won three rounds of qualifiers to reach the Roland Garros main draw where he was beaten in four sets by Czech Jiri Vesely.
Broady broke into the world’s top 150 in 2021, following reaching two consecutive Challenger finals and qualifying for the Miami ATP Masters event.
His good form saw him awarded a wild card for Wimbledon and he didn’t let the home fans down breezing past Italian Marco Ceccinato in straight sets, and his stellar 2021 continued when he took advantage of a late call up for the GB Olympics team by stunning the world Number 12 Hubert Hurkacz to reach the third round.
Bolstered by his success he finally won his first ATP Challenger Tour event in Biel, Switzerland with a straight sets win over home favourite Marc- Andrea Husler, moving Broady up to #126 as he sought the top 100 billing that would get him into the Australian Open main draw.
He ultimately finished the year ranked at 128, and joined GB’s Davis Cup squad which reached the Quarter Finals before falling to Germany.
He started 2022 as stand-in captain of the GB ATP Cup squad which was eliminated despite impressive victories over powerhouse nations USA and Germany, but he showed that the experience had inspired him when storming through to reach the Australian Open main draw with three come-from-behind victories over Kasper Zuk, JJ Wolf and Roman Safiullin before falling to defeat in a sizzling atmosphere in the John Cain Arena against Aussie Nick Kyrgios.
Liam has been coached for most of his career and continues to be by Dave Sammel. Dave is a former tour professional himself who is also a published author of books and the online programmes, Mindset College.
