Frances Tiafoe's girlfriend opened up on how shooting Netflix's docuseries 'changed his life'
In an interview last year, Ayan Broomfield discussed how being a part of the Netflix docuseries, 'Break Point' changed her boyfriend Frances Tiafoe's life. Speaking to ATP Tour, Broomfield said that following the release of 'Break Point', people would understand the hard work it took Tiafoe to reach this stage in the sport.
“That two-week period completely changed his life, changed my life, changed his whole family's life. It was magical. I think when people actually understand what it took for him to actually get there financially, and just his story, I think people understand that it was more than just a tennis match. It's literally a dream come true," she said.
Further mentioning how 'Break Point' shed light on unseen aspects of Tiafoe's life, Broomfield added:
“I think his story being told in this kind of setting was kind of like a storytelling setting was amazing. And people really got to see Frances for who he actually is and what he brings to the sport.”
Currently, the World No. 18 is scheduled to start his 2025 season by competing at the Brisbane International, where he will face Adam Walton on December 30, 2024.
