Liam Tarquin Broady (born 4 January 1994) is a professional tennis player and a former British no 3. In 2010, he won the Boys' Doubles at Wimbledon partnered with fellow Briton Tom Farquharson, and in 2012 won the Boys' Doubles at the Australian Open partnered with fellow Briton Joshua Ward-Hibbert.
Broady is a younger brother of fellow tennis player Naomi Broady, and he has another sister, Emma and a brother, Calum, who grew up in Heaton Chapel, Stockport. Their parents, Shirley and Simon, a property landlord who used to work in the music industry, took Liam and Naomi to tennis tournaments.
Broady started playing table tennis at the age of four and went to Matchpoint in Bramhall for lessons. His first tournament was at the age of eight and he showed potential at ten.
He attended and Priestnall School where he completed his GCSEs in 2010.
In 2007, the Lawn Tennis Association suspended his seventeen-year-old sister Naomi's funding, for 'unprofessional' postings on a social networking site. Their father Simon was so angry with the decision that he withdrew Liam, then aged thirteen, from the LTA programme. Simon sold the family home and downsized to a modest red brick terrace to fund their travel and coaching. A year later, the LTA offered to restore their funding, but Simon refused, and they trained at the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy on the outskirts of Paris. Broady struggled at Mouratoglou, so in 2012, he decided to accept help from the LTA, leading to his estrangement from his father, and they did not speak to each other for several years. When Liam returned to Manchester, he stayed with his sister Emma. In November 2015, Broady ended his LTA funding to heal the rift with his father, and he now funds himself, renting his own flat in the Heatons, Manchester. Broady trains at the Northern Tennis Club, David Lloyd Fitness and Life Leisure by Broadstone Mill.
