Tiafoe wrote:

"Babes our power out. In the whole f*****g country"

The social media influencer was left in shock. She responded:

"Wait What"

After that, the tennis player revealed that France and Portugal are two of the affected nations. Broomfield's story caption read:

"Woke up to this message about a widespread power outrage just hit Spain and Portugal."

The following story was a FaceTime screenshot, where Frances Tiafoe's side was dark. Reacting to that, Broomfield wrote:

"I thought he was kidding. He was not. There is Zero power in Madrid, Spain right now. Like PITCH BLACK."

Frances Tiafoe has gotten used to having Broomfield support him in person during tennis matches. However, the former player stayed back home in Palm Springs and enjoyed some work and leisure time. She posted highlights of her busy days on her Instagram handle, including bikini-clad and office fit pictures, among others.

"Casually living my Pinterest board," the caption read.

Tiafoe got emotional on seeing the pictures and wished for Broomfield's presence in Madrid.
