Think: Deep groundstrokes, a great net game, and an equally radiant personality to boot.

Youve launched theAyan Broomfield Foundation, a namesake philanthropic project.
Tell us about it.
Ayan Broomfield: I started traveling full-time with Frances about a year and a half ago.
I felt it pretty quicklywe were going from city to city, and receiving so much from the sport.
I was gaining all these experiences, but hadnt given anything back.
And I use one of my brand deals to work on donations, with either money or product.
I work withINNBeauty, and I was like, hey, look, they need sunscreen.
Its something that gets overlooked so often.
So, INNBeauty is donating 500 units to the shelter.
When were in Miami, Im going to play pickleball with the kids, too.
A little event to get people together.
Im trying to merge it all together, with everything Ive been given from the sport!
AB: I did!
I did a few things in Melbourne.
One of them was to hit with some of the kids at the Boys and Girls Club.
Its a euphoric feeling when it goes well.
If I can provide a bit of euphoria to anyone through this, Im going to do my best.
You work with beauty partners such as INNBeauty, Bumble and bumble, and Bondi Sands.
Tell me about your beauty tipsany rules or gold standards, first and foremost?
For me, it was always about the game first.
So it was a big switch, from being a full-time athlete.
Now, I do think about what Im wearing, what makeup I have on.
Youve been on NetflixsBreak Point, youre a rising social media name, you were inKingRichard.
You know the drill!
I think as you go grow older, you realize how important sunscreen is.
What about fitness and wellness while youre on the go?
It can be hard to do so, even if youre not jet-lagged.
I love the 12-3-30 workout on the treadmill.
Incline on 12, 3 miles per hour, 30 minutes.
I knock that out every day.
Also when youre traveling a lot, gyms at hotels can be inconsistent.
I bring bands everywhere I go, now.
And you dont even have to go to the gym for that.
you’ve got the option to band workout wherever!
Youve played tennis at an elite level.
You witness elite tennis week in and week out while traveling with Frances.
I need Ayan Broomfield coaching!
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 youre out hitting, dont just hit aimlessly.
Take 20 or 30 minutes to focus and work on something specific.
Two cross-courts, one down the linethats one of my favorite repetitions.
So a little discipline goes a long way, even if just playing casually?
And dont forget to do the same at net.
I love my net game.
Set up structures for net practice, emphasizing reaction time.
If youre playing with someone strong, encourage them to hit it harder, forcing you to react quicker.
I could use that training.
Oh, one more thing: A while ago, I invested in a ball machine.
Sometimes when youre stressed, its good to just let it out on court.
Go and put a 100 balls in the machine.
Then let it out on 100 forehands.
