Frances Tiafoe's girlfriend, Ayan Broomfield, opened up about how she encourages him after tense matches

In an interview with Essence magazine in September 2024, Ayan Broomfield opened up about the way she supports and motivates her boyfriend Frances Tiafoe after tense matches. She revealed that she takes advantage of her tennis background and looks into the stuff that needs to be improved from Tiafoe's end. Speaking about analyzing the sport and his game, she said:

"I think for me, I’m blessed to have a tennis background. So when he’s going through things, we don’t just talk about it on the surface level like, 'You can win next time.' We’ll actually sit down and work together and break down what’s going on. And I think that’s something that is unique to our relationship is the ability to go deeper and the ability to actually talk about what it is that he’s doing well, what it is that he’s not doing well," said Broomfield.

She further spoke about what has really helped Tiafoe's game, adding:

"But what has helped is just being able to analyze the sport and not make it a bigger deal than it is when he is not doing well and then remaining humble and making sure that we’re staying analytical when he is doing well. Because tennis is a very up and down sport, and if you don’t stay grounded and centered through all the ups and downs, it just becomes not only a physical roller coaster, but also an emotional one and we don’t want that."

Frances Tiafoe is currently gearing up for his showdown against Fabian Marozsan in the second round of the Australian Open slated for January 15.
