Taylor Fritz is an American player who has been doing quite well in the ATP Tour ever since he stepped into the professional circuit. His fan following skyrocketed after he defeated Rafael Nadal at the 2022 Indian Wells Masters. The American player was born in Santa Fe, California on October 8, 1997. Fritz has reached a career-high ranking of 5 in the ATP circuit. He is the only American to reach the top five since 2009, after Andy Roddick, and is currently the number one American player.

Aside from tennis, Fritz was one of the stars in the Netflix ‘docuseries’, ‘Break Point’. The American rising star is not building his career all by himself. Supporting him on his journey is his social media influencer girlfriend, Morgan Riddle.

‘Never STFU About..’ – American Tennis Star Taylor Fritz’s Girlfriend’s ‘Dopeamine’ Talk as She Gets Excited About Traveling Down Under

Today, she works as a lifestyle blogger and shares content related to her boyfriend frequently.

The start of Fritz and Riddle’s relationship 

The American tennis star and the lifestyle blogger first started dating in 2020. Although the two never gave an official date as to when they got together, an Instagram post of Fritz gives some clues. On June 4, 2022, Fritz shared a post where he talked about the two-year anniversary of him and Riddle.

Fritz wrote a heartwarming caption on his and his girlfriend’s picture. “2 years has flown by with @moorrgs ❤️ I love you and I can’t wait for all the fun times still ahead for us 🎉Thank you for all the love and support always… we really make an amazing team ❤️,” read the message.

When Riddle showed her support to Taylor Fritz on the Tour

Morgan Riddle is a supportive girlfriend. She does her best to travel to any tournament Fritz participates in. Notably, she was present for the epic Wimbledon clash of Rafael Nadal and Taylor Fritz in the quarterfinals. Unfortunately, she had to see her boyfriend succumb to Nadal’s comeback win in a five-set thriller.

Riddle also attended the match in the 2022 Indian Wells final when Fritz beat Nadal. After his win, the social media influencer recalled feeling queasy during the entire bout as she was hoping that her beau emerged triumphant. After he won, Fritz ran to his girlfriend to celebrate his victory.

Morgan Riddle’s mission to ‘make tennis cool again’

Although Riddle is dating one of the top tennis players in the world, she was largely unaware of the sport before. Riddle said that people who grow up watching or playing the sport are aware of at least the basic technicalities and etiquette, something she had to learn.

However, Riddle has learned everything she could by now and is on a mission to increase the popularity of tennis in the US. She has amassed close to half a million followers on TikTok and Instagram and is doing her best to make sure that most Americans take an interest in the sport.

In one of her most viral TikTok videos, Riddle detailed all she knew about tennis. She shared her knowledge, including what the annual tennis schedule looked like and how rankings work. Additionally, she also shared her experience on the tour with Fritz.

Taylor Fritz’s response to his girlfriend’s viral social media mission

Although Riddle’s video on TikTok garnered attention, she also faced a lot of backlash. Fritz said that he believed the video was a positive thing for the sport and asked why many people were angry about it. Fritz ended by saying that he was a professional tennis player and he agreed with everything said in the video, so he was perplexed at the backlash.

“I think what she did was awesome for our sport. It got a ton of people looking at it. I think you get your typical older fan who may be upset about it. I don’t understand how anyone can get upset about it. I’m the one that’s a professional tennis player, I’m the one that does this for a living. I 100 percent agree with everything in that video,” Fritz said at a press conference at the 2022 Indian Wells, reported by the People.
