In an interview with Essence last year, Frances Tiafoe's girlfriend Ayan Broomfield, shared that a mutual friend introduced them. She added that they quickly became best friends before transitioning into a romantic relationship.

"We both played junior tennis at a very high level. I’m from Canada, so I was playing for my country, Frances was playing for the States. And then one of our mutual friends was like, ‘Well, you guys actually would be really good friends.’ So we started talking then and became best friends for a bit. It’s been eight, nine years now. It’s been a journey,” Broomfield said.

One of Tiafoe's most significant career achievements came when he defeated 22-time Major champion Rafael Nadal at the 2022 US Open. Reflecting on that victory, Broomfield remarked:

"Overnight it was such a huge, huge drastic change. I think it helped that we were so close because it was a lot. It was a lot very quickly, and we were not expecting it."

Frances Tiafoe’s most recent match was at the 2025 Australian Open. The American was unable to perform at his best and was eliminated in the second round.
