At Wimbledon in 2011, Broady beat Germany's Robin Kern 7–6 (7–4) 4–6 13–11 to reach the semi-finals of the boys' singles and followed that victory with another against Australian Jason Kubler with the match ending 6–4 6–3 in the Brit's favour to ensure a place in the final.[7] He lost in the final 6–2 4–6 2–6 to Australian Luke Saville.[8] Broady finished 2011 by partnering Joshua Ward–Hibbert to the Dunlop Orange Bowl doubles title.[9] The 2012 season saw Broady reach the boys' semifinals at the US Open for the first time, and go on to make the final, where he lost against Filip Peliwo 2–6, 6–2, 5–7 in a tightly fought match.[10]

Senior career
Early career
Broady began playing on the Futures Circuit, both in singles and doubles with partner Joshua Ward-Hibbert. In 2013 he reached three singles and seven doubles finals at Futures level, winning one singles title and four doubles titles, including three on home soil. He began competing more regularly on the Challenger Tour, and as a result saw his ranking rise more steadily. Broady made it to his first Challenger final in November 2014, facing James Duckworth in the final of the Charlottesville Challenger, where he ultimately lost in three sets; however, his run to the final launched him into the top 200 for the first time, with a career-high ranking of 188th in the world. Throughout 2014, Broady's ranking rose up 271 places from 470th at the beginning of the year, becoming the 3rd ranked British player in the world.
He came from two sets down to win his first-ever singles match at Wimbledon in 2015 against Marinko Matosevic.[11]
