Girlfriend
Ayan Broomfield is Frances Tifo’s girlfriend and is often seen in her players’ box during matches.
Broomfield hails from Canada and is also a tennis player. She plays right handed and has a two handed backhand. He made his WTA Tour debut in 2014 after being given a wildcard for the doubles tournament at the Coupe Banque Nationale.
Parents
Francis Tiafoe’s parents are mother Alfina Kamara and father Frances Tiafoe Sr. She emigrated from Sierra Leone and raised a tennis star in Maryland.
To escape the civil war in his home country, his father emigrated from Sierra Leone to England in 1988 and to the US in 1993. Tiafoe’s mother joined him three years later.
Before leaving Sierra Leone she told The Washington Post: “I was going to a funeral every week.”
Speaking to the BBC about her parents’ journey from Sierra Leone, Frances said: “It humbled me and made me serious. It came to my mind very quickly that I wanted to take care of not only myself but my family.” I’m using tennis to help because they’ve sacrificed a lot.”
Wiki
The son of Sierra Leone immigrants, Tiafo was raised at the Junior Tennis Champions Center (JTCC), a USTA regional training center in College Park, Maryland, where his father served as the chief of maintenance. His unique background and success as a teenager made him widely regarded as a great prospect to become one of the next American tennis stars. At age 15, Tiafo won the 2013 Orange Bowl, the tournament’s youngest ever boys’ singles champion. At the age of 17, he became the youngest American in the main draw of the French Open since Michael Chang in 1989. As a teenager, he won the US Junior National Championship and enjoyed success on the ATP Challenger Tour, reaching nine finals and winning four titles.
Who is
While literally growing up at the Junior Tennis Champions Center (JTCC) in suburban Washington, D.C., she took up racket in hand, a 15-acre indoor/outdoor tennis complex, until she found the best of competition.
At the age of 6, he was too young to compete with those opponents.
But he was old enough to learn.
“You might have seen him sitting on the bench, but he was so small that his feet didn’t even touch the ground,” recalled JTCC founder Vesa Ponca, who currently serves as senior director of tennis. “But he used to watch the top players and the coaches they worked with, and was always completely focused. Then he would go to the back wall of the facility and copy everything he saw. A total student of the game.”
