American tennis star Frances Tiafoe is no stranger to making a run at Grand Slam tournaments. In fact, he has reached the quarterfinals of every event except Wimbledon.

Tiafoe built some momentum at the French Open, reaching the quarterfinals despite not having a ton of success on the clay. He's hoping that'll carry over into this month at Wimbledon. Last year, he was a game away from knocking off two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
Perhaps this will be the year for Tiafoe to shine at Wimbledon. The men's draw is looking somewhat favorable due to a plethora of first-round upsets.
All we know for certain is that Tiafoe will have plenty of support in his corner from his fans as well as his girlfriend, Ayan Broomfield.
Broomfield and Tiafoe didn't go Instagram official with their relationship until 2018.

"Happy Fourth year anniversary babes," Tiafoe wrote in 2022. "Damn time went craaazzyyy quick. We been datin datin. Love you deep sexy. You one crazy chick but couldn't imagine being with anyone else."
Broomfield knows what it takes to compete at the highest level. She collegiately at Clemson for two years before making her WTA debut in the Coupe Banque Nationale.
Although she's no longer on the tour, Broomfield turns plenty of heads at every tournament because of her style.
Before Tiafoe's first-round victory over Elmer Moller, she shared a few looks at her unique outfit for Day 1 at Wimbledon.
It won't take long for Broomfield to go viral during Tiafoe's second-round match against Cam Norrie.

Even though Tiafoe is favored to defeat Norrie, it won't be an easy match. The left-hander from Great Britain made the semifinals at Wimbledon in 2022.
The winner of Wednesday's match between Tiafoe and Norrie will face either Jiri Lehecka or Mattia Bellucci in the third round.

Stars return to Royal Box as Wimbledon welcomes back the sunshine

Celebrities were back in the Royal Box on Thursday as Wimbledon bounced back from a rainy midweek spell with sunshine and a packed schedule on day four. Blue skies and 24C temperatures returned to the All England Club after a soggy Wednesday, with fans quick to swap ponchos for sunhats and take advantage of ideal conditions on court. Among the guests in the Royal Box were adventurer Bear Grylls, broadcaster Sir Chris Bryant and actor Rory Kinnear. Former Dragons' Den star Deborah Meaden and comedian Clive Anderson were also spotted taking in the action on Centre Court. Musician-turned-environmentalist Feargal Sharkey was seated alongside Dutch tennis legend Betty Stove, who turned 80 in April and famously reached three Wimbledon finals in 1977. They were joined by a host of sporting figures including former England rugby coach Sir Clive Woodward, Olympic sprinter Donna Fraser, and incoming Lawn Tennis Association chairman William Jackson. Prince Michael of Kent led the royal contingent. The stars were there to see Novak Djokovic face off against British Dan Evans on Centre Court, before Iga Swiatek takes on American qualifier Caty McNally. Top seed Jannik Sinner took on Aleksandar Vukic of Australia on No 1 Court, followed by Mirra Andreeva's match against Italy's Lucia Bronzetti. Later in the day, Maria Sakkari is scheduled to play 2022 champion Elena Rybakina, and British hope Jack Draper will face former US Open winner Marin Cilic.
