Frances Tiafoe is blown away by her friend Ayan Broomfield's charitable work for children through her foundation in New York

Frances Tiafoe is known for his powerful play and infectious energy on the tennis court. He is also passionate off the court, especially when it comes to supporting his girlfriend, Ayan Broomfield. Recently, Tiafoe couldn't help but gush about his girlfriend's generous efforts through her foundation, emphasizing his deep admiration for her, both as a partner and as a philanthropist.

Ayan Broomfield snapped a series of pictures during her recent outing to her foundation's event. She was seen with a big grin as her foundation provided many young children with tennis rackets, inspiring them to take up the sport. Broomfield shared the pictures on Instagram and wrote: “We had an amazing seminar today with the best youth group from the Harlem YMCA @harlemymca!

Tiafoe also showed his girlfriend Ayan Broomfield some love on Instagram by posting a picture showcasing her charity work. In the post, the American star enthusiastically acknowledged Ayan's dedication to her organization, which aims to help impoverished youth change the world. Tiafoe mentioned “play it forward”, and marked her friend.

The goal of the Ayan Broomfield Foundation, which was launched on January 14 of this year, is to support people who are passionate about tennis but need help. Broomfield is currently more interested in growing her personal brand through modeling, acting and content production for tennis-related fashion and travel companies after turning her attention away from representing Canada as a junior tennis player.

However, her foundation reveals another side of the WTA star, one dedicated to helping the overlooked and vulnerable. In her first Instagram post, the foundation stated: “Often the people who need help are the most overlooked.”

She revealed her interest in wheelchair tennis during an impromptu Instagram Q&A, showing her curiosity about the difficulties faced by athletes with disabilities. She said: “I also think it would have been really interesting to learn more about wheelchair tennis because I find their tour at Grand Slams really interesting. What does their training look like? What are their travel expenses? What are their stories and what made them want to do tennis? I think that would be cool.”

Broomfield's response showed her unwavering commitment to the sport of tennis, even when competitions aren't taking place. Her intention to highlight the struggles and stories of athletes with disabilities is an example of her overall goal to increase accessibility and inclusivity in tennis.
