Brydan Klein (born 31 December 1989) is an Australian-born British professional tennis player. He prefers to play on a fast surface, such as grass or hard. Klein has yet to become an active competitor on the main ATP Tour. However, he did receive a wildcard from Tennis Australia for the 2008 Australian Open, but lost to Paul Capdeville in the first round of the Grand Slam event, and received a wildcard for 2009 Australian Open, where he reached the second round, beating Bjorn Phau and losing to Stan Wawrinka. In 2015, he also received a wildcard for the Wimbledon main draw and lost in the first round. In 2016, he again received a wildcard for the Wimbledon main draw. He is a winner of the junior Australian Open.
Currently, Klein competes mainly on the ATP Challenger Tour.
Klein has grown up in a tennis household; his father, Verne, was a coach and high school teacher and both his older and younger brothers also played tennis competitively for a short time.
Klein began his professional tennis career playing on the ITF Men's Circuit in various events across Australia aged just 15. He featured sporadically on the ITF Circuit throughout 2005 and 2006, winning his first title alongside Matthew Ebden in a doubles event in Traralgon in October 2006. During that year, he also competed at Challenger level for the first time in his career. At the start of 2007, Klein competed in the Australian Open Junior Championships, and won the event after beating Jonathan Eysseric in three sets in the final. This resulted in Klein reaching a career high juniors ranking of no. 4.
