After covering enough of ‘Tsitsidosa’ and ‘Friddle’ last year, let’s now shift our focus to another tennis power couple- ‘Tiafield’. Do you like this name though? 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. 

Ayan Broomfield attended the 2024 NFL Honors celebration event at the Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas on Thursday. But she had to leave the award show early to tune into Frances Taifoe’s second-round match against his compatriot Alex Michelsen at the Dallas Open.

Both of them met each other through a mutual friend and a fellow tennis player, Vickie Duval. Ayan Broomfield is often seen cheering for his boyfriend on courtside. She even celebrates the milestones of his career through her social media posts. Broomfield recently posted a story on her Instagram account where she posed with her phone where she was watching her boyfriend in action. 

She wrote, “Left the event early…had to tap into Frances Tiafoe haha” in the caption. In 2022, Frances Tiafoe became the first Black American to advance into the SF of the US Open since Arthur Ashe’s epic performance in 1972. He also reached the Top 10 in the men’s singles ranking a year later. Broomfield was seen celebrating that historic feat of his career by capturing those moments through several screenshots on her phone.

Frances Tiafoe also commented on that post, and he wrote, “Man to think how far we’ve come. 2015 meeting you for the first and also just starting my career. You’ve rocked with me thru it all. The good the bad and the standstills. It’s been a ride no one can put into words. You mean more to me than you can ever imagine. 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.

Moments after receiving glimpses of Broomfield tuning into the match of Tiafoe and Michelsen, Frances Tiafoe defeated Alex Michelsen by 6-4,6-3 in a 1 hour 18 minutes encounter at the Styslinger/Altec Tennis Complex. It seems like it just took a mobile screen for Tiafoe’s lady luck to make her presence felt.
