Ayan Broomfield is a Canadian tennis player who won the NCAA doubles championship in 2019. She has won two titles on the ITF circuit in doubles. In 2014, the Canadian made her WTA debut at the Coupe Banque Nationale in doubles. She was Venus Williams' body double for some scenes in King Richard, a film that depicts the life of Serena and Venus Williams and their father Richard.

Broomfield is currently on a break from tennis. She revealed the reason for her break in a Q&A session on Instagram. She mentioned that she never "officially" retired but stepped away from the game after the Covid-19 pandemic. The Canadian attributed injuries, burnout and stress as a reason for her break.

Okay truth be told, I never really officially stopped. "During/ post covid I was training and playing a lottttt which lead to a lot of injuries, burnout, and stress. And I use the word stress very lightly because obviously there are way worse things going on in the world, then trying to play professional tennis, but I think a lot of the times we see the glitz and glam of the WTA and ATP tour and forget how much work, time and finances go into getting there. It's brutal and I needed a break from going two cross-one line," Ayan Broomfield wrote.
