Naomi Broady

She won one singles title in April 2006 at the Sutton ITF Junior Tournament and lost in the quarterfinals of four others, one of which was the 2008 Wimbledon girls' event, where she was beaten by Noppawan Lertcheewakarn of Thailand.

[4] She continued playing on the ITF Women's Circuit in 2006 but did not pass round two of any tournament until November, when she reached the quarterfinals of the $10k event in Sunderland, where she lost to Martina Pavelec.

[4] Broady was again unable to progress past the second round of any tournament until August 2007 when she reached the quarterfinals of an ITF event in Cumberland, London, where Anna Smith beat her in three sets.

[4] In September 2007, Broady and fellow British competitor, David Rice, were both suspended by the LTA for "unprofessional behaviour" and "lack of discipline" due to pictures posted on the social networking website Bebo.

The pictures and various comments made on them were deemed to be supportive of a lifestyle of drinking and partying, and as such, both players had resources such as funding and coaching withdrawn.

[5] Brendan Gallagher of The Daily Telegraph later commented that the photos were "comparatively tame" and "not the cleverest move for a wannabe tennis star but hardly scandalous behaviour for a 17-year-old.

"[6] The actions of the LTA led to Broady refusing to play for the national team, a position she has maintained throughout her career.

She made her debut on the WTA Tour in June at the Tier III Birmingham Classic qualifying tournament.

Following a successful early half to the season, which included tournament wins in Sharm El Sheikh, Namangan, and Fukuoka, it was announced that Broady would receive a wildcard into the main draw of Wimbledon.

Broady also failed to defend her second-round points at Wimbledon, losing in straight sets to Mariana Duque.

She then won her first title of the season at the $25k event in Landisville, where she defeated American player Robin Anderson in the final.

She next entered the Tournoi de Québec where she again lost in the final qualifying round but received a lucky loser entrance into the main draw.

There she fought her way to her first semifinal of a WTA event, before ultimately losing to the young Latvian player Jeļena Ostapenko.

It was within this period during the U.S. hardcourt season that it became clear that playing aggressive in return games and using her big serve could make it difficult for her opponents to break her.

[13] Broady went on to reach the final of the Coleman Vision Championships, where she lost in a close match to Michaëlla Krajicek.

Broady began 2016 at the Auckland Open where she defeated Laura Siegemund, Kateryna Kozlova, and Magdaléna Rybáriková in the qualifying.

Although the boy wasn't injured, Broady approached the chair umpire to enquire why Ostapenko had not been defaulted, on the grounds that the racket had been thrown in frustration and not in an accidental fashion.

After hailing the WTA supervisor, Ostapenko was issued a code violation and would go on to lose to Broady in three sets.

Broady reached the semifinals in Hawaii, before losing to top seed Christina McHale but went two better by winning the $100k event in Midland, beating US youngster Robin Anderson in the final.

Competing at the 2017 Midland Classic, Broady reached the singles final before losing in three sets to Tatjana Maria.
