Frances Tiafoe had plenty of reasons to be the center of attention at the U.S. Open.
Then Ayan Broomfield showed up.
The Canadian tennis player and longtime girlfriend of Tiafoe has become a familiar face in his player box, and her latest appearance in New York had tennis fans paying plenty of attention away from the court.
Broomfield arrived at the U.S. Open with a look that immediately caught the internet’s attention.
And considering the competition happening on the court, that is saying something.
The 28-year-old has carved out her own place in the tennis world beyond simply supporting Tiafoe. Broomfield has played professionally, worked as a coach and built a sizable social media following along the way.
She’s also no stranger to the spotlight.
Tiafoe has become one of American tennis’ biggest personalities, but Broomfield has developed plenty of attention of her own whenever she appears at major tournaments.
The U.S. Open is obviously about the tennis.
Tiafoe’s run is the reason Broomfield is in New York in the first place.
But if you have spent any time scrolling through social media during the tournament, you already know the internet has found another reason to keep watching.
And it has absolutely nothing to do with the scoreboard.
