Tiafoe, the former World No. 10, met fellow player Ayan Broomfield in 2015, and the couple has since been supporting each other on and off the court. Having graduated with women's studies from the University of California in Los Angeles, Broomfield settled in LA to continue her professional tennis career. She has also acted as Venus Williams' double in the feature film, King Richard.

Now promoting her foundation, creating content and endorsing several brands, Tiafoe's girlfriend often takes hilarious jabs at the latter on social media, too. In recent news, the Grand Slam semi-finalist visited Howard University, also known as 'The Mecca', for being the 'Captain of the Day'.

Tiafoe's recent Instagram picture carousel featured him with the HU team, his girlfriend Broomfield and football quarterback Jayden Daniels, hugging him after the Washington Commanders lost to the Dallas Cowboys last Sunday.

"It’s not about what you do…..it’s about who you are," the caption read.
