Frances Tiafoe's girlfriend Ayan Broomfield once spoke about their bond
Ayan Broomfield has played a significant role in Frances Tiafoe’s success on and off the court. The Canadian frequently accompanies the former World No. 10 to his matches, providing emotional and moral support.

"I think we balance each other out a lot," she said. "We can talk about tennis."
"I mean, I played tennis myself. So even just when we're seeing the draw, and we kind of look at certain players, sometimes I can act as a sounding board for matches," Ayan Broomfield added. "I just feel like we just understand it and what it takes for someone to go and be able to compete at the highest level."
