Ayan Broomfield's foundation is making waves—should more athletes follow her lead in giving back?

Frances Tiafoe, known for his powerful game and infectious energy on the tennis court, is just as passionate off the court, especially when it comes to supporting his girlfriend, Ayan Broomfield. Recently, Tiafoe couldn’t help but swoon over his girlfriend’s generous efforts through her foundation, as he highlighted the deep admiration he holds for her, both as a partner and a philanthropist.

Ayan Broomfield took a series of pictures from her recent outing to her foundation’s event. She was seen grinning broadly as her foundation provided tennis rackets to a lot of young kids, inspiring them to get into the sport. Sharing the pictures on Instagram, Broomfield wrote, “We had an amazing clinic today with the best youth group from the Harlem YMCA @harlemymca! Thank you @wilsontennis @innbeautyproject @drinkpoppi for all of your wonderful donations and help putting this all together 🫶🏽🥹 Also, thank you Stadium Tennis Center for hosting us!”

Tiafoe also showed his girlfriend Ayan Broomfield some love on Instagram by posting a picture that showcased her charity work. In the post, the American star enthusiastically recognized Ayan’s commitment to her organization, which aims to empower impoverished youngsters, to change the world. Tiafoe mentioned “playing it forward,” and tagged her girlfriend.

The goal of the Ayan Broomfield Foundation, which was founded on January 14 of this year, is to assist individuals who are passionate about tennis but are in need. Broomfield is currently more interested in developing her personal brand through modeling, acting, and content production for tennis-related fashion and travel enterprises, having shifted her attention from representing Canada as a junior tennis player.

However, her foundation reveals a different side of the WTA star, dedicated to helping the overlooked and vulnerable. In its first Instagram post, the foundation stated, “Often the people that are in need are usually the most overlooked.”

She revealed her interest in wheelchair tennis during an impromptu Instagram Q&A, indicating her curiosity about the difficulties faced by athletes with disabilities. She said, “I also think that it would’ve been really interesting to learn more about wheelchair tennis because it’s genuinely so interesting to me when I see their tour at Grand Slams. What is their training like? What are their travel costs? What are their stories, and what made them pursue tennis? I think that would be cool.”

Broomfield’s answer demonstrated her steadfast commitment to the game of tennis, even in the absence of competition play. Her intention to highlight the struggles and tales of athletes with disabilities exemplifies her larger goal of improving accessibility and inclusivity in tennis.
