“I don’t think it will hit me like that if anybody else said it to me,” said Frances Tiafoe, reflecting on the adorable meeting with Serena Williams during his run for the quarter-finals. The American ATP star has always admired Serena, not just as an icon in the sport but also as a human being. However, it isn’t just Tiafoe who sees himself lost in the admiration for the legendary sisters. His girlfriend Ayan Broomfield recently stepped forward to reveal her first-ever meeting with Venus Williams.

Ayan Broomfield recently shared her admiration for tennis legend Venus Williams in a heartfelt video shared on TikTok. Reflecting on her journey as a professional tennis player, she expressed how tennis has been a central part of her life since childhood. “I’ve been involved in tennis since I was five years old. Tennis has genuinely been my life and actually I have idols in the sport. Venus Williams and Serena Williams happen to be two of my biggest idols and role models,” she said.

Ayan also recalled the amazing moment when she met Venus for the first time. “When I met Venus for the first time, I believe, I was 15. I got a wild card to the professional tennis tournament in Canada, and Venus Williams was there. I met her on the practice courts, and I was like, ‘ahhhhh,’” she shared, highlighting her awe at meeting her idol.

Born on August 13, 1997, in Ontario, Canada, Ayan Broomfield is a tennis star in her own right. She has reached career-high WTA rankings of 680 in singles and 467 in doubles. Her achievements include two ITF doubles titles. Broomfield’s collegiate tennis career was also exceptional. She started at Clemson University and earned the ACC Freshman of the Year award. She later transferred to UCLA and made history in 2019 by winning the NCAA Division I Women’s Doubles Championship alongside Gabby Andrews.

Broomfield added another unique accomplishment to her resume. She served as Venus Williams’ body double in the acclaimed film King Richard. She portrayed Venus in the tennis scenes while helping the legendary story come to life. However, Venus isn’t the only one who she admires.
