Frances Tiafoe's girlfriend, Ayan Broomfield, opened up about playing Venus Williams' body double in a movie

Frances Tiafoe's girlfriend, Ayan Broomfield, played the body double of Venus Williams in the movie 'King Richard,' which is about the life of Richard Williams, the father of Serena and Venus Williams. The executive producers of this movie were the Williams sisters, and it featured Broomfield in some of the scenes, where she played the body double of Venus Williams.

In one of her interviews with Tennis Channel, the American tennis player's girlfriend made her feelings known about her experience of being a part of the movie. Calling it an incredible experience, she opened up about how she adapted the playing techniques for impersonating her personality and style.

"Did a movie for tennis. I was in King Richard. I was Venus's body double in that movie which was incredible," Broomfield said [6:54] "Yes! Yes, it was actually super difficult because, you know, you play tennis for so long and you have your own techniques and your own little quirks and then to try and be someone completely different [is difficult]," said Frances Tiafoe's girlfriend.

Broomfield also revealed that William's sister, Isha Price, helped her in imitating the skills and quirks of the seven-time Grand Slam champion.

"Yes, actually Isha Price, her [Venus Williams'] sister came out to some of our practices and she's like, 'You gotta to drop the wrist, got to drop the wrist,'" she added. [7:23].

Frances Tiafoe and Ayaan Broomfield started dating each other in 2015 after being introduced to each other through a mutual friend and fellow tennis player, Victoria Duval. They made their relationship public in 2018.
