How old is Brandon Holt?
Brandon Holt was born on April 6, 1998 and is 25 years old. He has consistently credited his mother, Tracy Austin, 1981 US Open champion, for always supporting him in his tennis career.
After his first round win over Taylor Fritz at the 2022 US Open, Holt said this about his mother — “She’s an unbelievable competitor. I think just watching her do day-to-day things, it’s kind of 100 per cent or nothing. I’ve never seen her give anything less than 100 per cent and it’s always that way, whether she’s doing things for her family — it seems like her favourite thing to do because she’s always there for us.”
