Ayan Broomfield beskriver subtilt utanförskap inom tennisvärlden

Ayan Broomfield, flickvän till tennisspelaren Frances Tiafoe, har berättat om de rasrelaterade utmaningar hon möter när hon besöker turneringar. I en nyligen genomförd intervju beskrev hon situationer där hon blivit tagen för att vara personal trots att hon haft officiella ackrediteringar.

Broomfield, en före detta Division I-spelare som tävlade för Clemson och UCLA, berättade om hur personal hänvisat henne till en ingång för anställda vid olika evenemang. Hon förklarade att hon ofta var tvungen att förtydliga sin närvaro genom att påpeka att hennes pojkvän skulle spela på centercourten.
