While tennis enthusiasts eagerly awaited the performance of Rafael Nadal, it was his 16-month-old son who emerged as the true star of the show.
Frances Tiafoe’s girlfriend, Ayan Broomfield, captured a heartwarming moment on video, showcasing the youngster in the stands, equipped with a mini Babolat racquet, enthusiastically engaging in his own game of tennis.
“Rafael Nadal Jr. was the highlight of the event hands down,” expressed Broomfield, encapsulating the sentiment shared by many attendees.
