Speaking to Essence in 2024, Ayan Broomfield described witnessing Frances Tiafoe’s rise in tennis as a roller coaster, emphasizing the importance of steady support through an athlete’s ups and downs. She recalled how his 2022 US Open run brought sudden fame, with paparazzi attention overnight, which was overwhelming.

"It’s been incredible. I mean, it’s definitely been a roller coaster, so many ups and downs. With anyone’s career, whether it’s an athlete or you’re in a business, you have to support them through everything. It’s just about being steady and making sure that I’m always there," she said.

"He was doing well, and then all of a sudden he had this huge run at the U.S. Open in 2022. And honestly, the day before the big match that he played, no one knew who we were. And then the next day we came downstairs, and there was paparazzi everywhere. Recently, we’ve kind of gotten a little bit more used to it, but it was a lot. And I mean, neither Frances nor myself come from a celebrity parent. We didn’t come from extreme wealth either," she continued.

Broomfield acknowledged the sudden attention was overwhelming but called it a blessing, appreciating the opportunities and experiences along with it.

"So it was just a lot really quickly. But it’s a blessing to be able to have that experience and be in these rooms with such amazing people and have these opportunities. So we’ve done well with it, but it definitely was a lot. It hit us like a brick, for sure," she added.

On the tennis front, Frances Tiafoe will begin his Mexican Open campaign against Alexandre Muller on Wednesday, February 26. The American holds a 3-3 win-loss record in 2025.
