Along with the tennis superstars, the country is renowned for its natural beauty and amazing weather. Morgan Riddle, the girlfriend of Taylor Fritz, recently enjoyed her time in the beautiful country. But unlike many tourists, she didn’t forget about the country’s connection to the 20-time Grand Slam champion.

Players on tour have to travel often. On most occasions, they are joined by their family and significant others. However, they find themselves with a more packed schedule than the ones who are traveling with them. While in Switzerland for the Geneva Open, Fritz is going ahead with his training for the tournament. On the other hand, Riddle had more free time on her hands and spent it taking in the sights of Switzerland once again.
