Here’s how Frances Tiafoe’s girlfriend shows her love and support for her boyfriend!
When Frances Tiafoe beat the then No. 2 Rafael Nadal in the 2022 US Open semifinals, Broomfield was there to witness the “overnight” changes that the American went through. Per her, their “closeness” helped the couple to deal with the sudden change. And when Tiafoe struggles with his emotions before or after a match, Broomfield makes sure he has her support.
“Sometimes you know when he’s feeling nervous or he’s not feeling great, and you just feel for him. You’re constantly talking to each other. It’s little comments here and there, little glances here and there, so you have to be locked in the entire time.”

Always him. Take your negativity elsewhere.”
