On March 21, 2026, Frances Tiafoe faced off against Arthur Cazaux in the second round of the Miami Open at the Butch Buchholz court inside Hard Rock Stadium. Tiafoe, a rising star in tennis, showcased his skills with a strong performance, defeating Cazaux with a match score of 7-6(1), 6-1.
As the match progressed, Tiafoe’s girlfriend, Ayan Broomfield, who has been a steadfast supporter since they began dating in 2015, reacted to the crowd’s mixed support for Cazaux. Broomfield, a former college tennis player, expressed her frustration through a video posted on Instagram, where she lip-synced to a viral audio from Kendall Toole.
“When I’m at my boyfriend’s tennis match and people start cheering for the other guy,” Broomfield remarked, highlighting her discontent with the crowd’s reaction. She further added, “Get ’em banned. We don’t do that here. Oh, now I’m pissed.” Her playful yet pointed response gained significant attention online.
Tiafoe’s victory, while impressive, was somewhat overshadowed by the crowd dynamics during the match. Despite this, he remains focused on his next challenge, as he is set to face Jakub Mensik, the defending champion of the Miami Open, in the third round.
The upcoming match against Mensik promises to be a significant test for Tiafoe, who is looking to build on his momentum. With Broomfield’s unwavering support and the spotlight on their relationship, Tiafoe is poised to make a deeper run in the tournament.
