Ayan Broomfield Shares Insightful Tennis Advice
In a 2024 interview with Vogue, Ayan Broomfield reflected on her tennis background and shared helpful tips for players looking to improve their game. During her time at UCLA, she earned recognition by winning the NCAA doubles championship alongside Gabby Andrews in 2019. Although Broomfield has chosen a new professional path, she maintains a close connection to tennis through Tiafoe.
“Tennis is like riding a bike. You never 100 percent lose it, if you know it. So, have confidence in that! I also think when you’re out hitting, don’t just hit aimlessly,” she continued, “take 20 or 30 minutes to focus and work on something specific. Two cross-courts, one down the line–that’s one of my favorite repetitions.” —Ayan Broomfield
Broomfield emphasized the benefit of integrating focused drills and suggested players use ball machines to enhance consistency and manage stress on the court.
“A while ago, I invested in a ball machine. Sometimes when you’re stressed, it’s good to just let it out on court. Go and put a 100 balls in the machine. Then let it out on 100 forehands,” added Broomfield. —Ayan Broomfield
