Frances Tiafoe girlfriend Ayan Broomfield speaks out after Arthur Cazaux match as Miami Open crowd moment stands out

Frances Tiafoe got the win, but it was something in the crowd that grabbed attention after his match. During his second-round game at the 2026 Miami Open on March 21, some fans were heard cheering for his opponent, Arthur Cazaux. That moment did not sit well with Tiafoe’s girlfriend, Ayan Broomfield, who was watching from the stands.

Soon after the match, Ayan shared her reaction on Instagram. Instead of a long message, she chose a playful but clear video to show how she felt. Even though Tiafoe won in straight sets, the crowd’s mixed support became a talking point, especially after her post started getting attention online.

Frances Tiafoe faced Arthur Cazaux at the Butch Buchholz court inside Hard Rock Stadium. The American handled the match well and won 7-6(1), 6-1. He stayed calm in the first set tiebreak and then took full control in the second set. On paper, it looked like a smooth win, but the atmosphere inside the stadium told a slightly different story.

While many fans supported Tiafoe, a few were clearly backing Cazaux and even wanted the match to go longer. That is what caught Ayan Broomfield’s attention.

On her Instagram, she posted a reel with a caption that read, “When I’m at my boyfriend’s tennis match and people start cheering for the other guy.” In the video, she lip-synced to a viral audio from Kendall Toole, saying, “Get ’em banned. We don’t do that here. Oh, now I’m pissed.”

Her reaction was clearly playful, but fans quickly picked up on it. Many agreed with her, while others felt it was just part of sports where crowds sometimes support both players.

Ayan Broomfield is not new to tennis. She played college tennis and understands the game well. She has been with Frances Tiafoe since 2015, and the two have often supported each other’s careers. She is regularly seen at his matches, cheering from the stands.

Now, the focus shifts back to the court. Frances Tiafoe will next face defending Miami Open champion Jakub Mensik in the third round. This will be a tough match. Mensik already has a win over Frances Tiafoe from the 2025 Davis Cup Qualifiers. He also won the Miami Open last year, beating Novak Djokovic in the final.

If Frances Tiafoe wants to move forward, he will need to play at a very high level. His aggressive style will be tested against Mensik’s strong serve and backhand. If he wins, he could face Felix Auger-Aliassime or Terence Atmane in the next round.
