Tracy Austin's son Brandon Holt reaches second consecutive Grand Slam with Australian Open main draw debut

The son of legendary player Tracy Austin keeps improving as he secured the 2nd grand slam main draw appearance in a row at the Australian Open.

Holt played some inspiring tennis at the US Open qualifying for his first grand slam main draw there. He stunned American number one Taylor Fritz in round one and now he'll play at the Australian Open as well. The 24-year-old continued to play some good tennis as he won two matches and secured a spot in the main draw.

His mother was very proud:

"He did it. He did it. He handled the moment. He handled the pressure. He won the third time in a row, didn’t have that letdown. These are big wins for him. Just so happy that now he’s in the US Open. I still can’t believe it."

Holt has a strong relationship with his mother once saying:

"I’ve never seen her give anything less than 100%, whether it’s doing things for her family, which seems to be her favorite thing to do, because she’s always there for us. That’s the biggest thing that I’ve learned from her, whether that’s in tennis or just playing a game of cards: she’s not going to lose and she’ll reach across the table and rip your heart out, but she’ll hug you after,” he added about the youngest female player to win the US Open."
