Broomfield was also inspired by fellow tennis WAGs like Morgan Riddle, who have, as she put it, made a “career out of being on the road” thanks to social media.
“I think that it’s given women such an opportunity to create and show their personalities and be able to show the world who they are, instead of just being such-and-such girlfriend or such-and-such wife, you’re able to show your personality,” she says.
Now, Broomfield is focused on building her brand and running her nonprofit foundation, which she launched early this year, and helps elevate local nonprofits all across the world. She’s been featured in Forbes. She’s also not ruling out a return to playing tennis, though she says either way, she’s making an impact on the sport.
“We’re able to bring a lot of younger women to the sports,” she says. “I know some girls are even coming out just to see some of the WAGs.… And a lot of people are playing tennis because of it. So it’s bringing a completely different demographic to sports…. I think that’s amazing to have women interested in sports. I think it’s great.”
