Brady began the season on a high as she ended up as the runner-up of the Australian Open 2021. She played amazingly well at the Grand Slam but lost to Naomi Osaka in the finals.
However, after that, Brady hasn’t been up to the mark. She hasn’t played a single quarter-final match after her brilliant show in Melbourne and is definitely out of form. On clay as well, she has got starts but has been unable to convert them into titles.
