He reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Championships in 1939, 1946 and 1947. He played in the Davis Cup. He also competed in doubles with good results at both state and national levels. In November 1949 Brodie and doubles partner Bert Tonkin lost to 15-year-olds Lew Hoad and Ken Rosewall in an interstate match at Kooyong (6-3, 6-4).
