American tennis star Frances Tiafoe has been dating Canadian tennis sensation, Ayan Broomfield since 2015. Broomfield has been the biggest supporter of Tiafoe on and off the field. Recently, with a heartwarming message, Broomfield tuned into Tiafoe’s match while she was traveling in a car.

Broomfield was seen celebrating that historic feat of his career by capturing those moments through several screenshots on her phone.

She later wrote, “TOP 10 IN THE WORLD! I started taking screenshots of different moments and accomplishments a few years ago in anticipation of this day. I can’t post them all but I think this tells the story pretty well. I am so proud of you.

I love you with all I got.” Fans are now in love with this cute tennis couple and are eager to know more about Frances Tiafoe and Ayan Broomfield.
