Taylor Fritz Celebrates Girlfriend’s Support Amid Wimbledon Success
Tennis star Taylor Fritz recently expressed his gratitude towards his girlfriend, Morgan Riddle, after his impressive quarterfinal victory at Wimbledon. In a heartfelt speech, Fritz, 27, acknowledged Riddle’s steadfast support throughout their five-year relationship.
After winning the match against Karen Khachanov with scores of 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (4), Fritz reflected on how Riddle has been a driving force behind his growing success. He noted, “I think I would have to say she’s been a big help to me just kind of keeping me focused and pushing me to do better.”
In a light-hearted moment, Fritz joked about Riddle’s nurturing influence on his lifestyle, referring to her guidance on his diet and sleep schedule. He admitted, “Almost like kind of just mother me, in a way,” before quickly acknowledging that his choice of words might not have been the best.
Fritz also took a moment to poke fun at a motivational note he once wrote for himself, which Riddle shared online. The note, intended to be private, read: “Nobody in the whole world is underachieving harder than you.” Despite the lighthearted embarrassment, Fritz affirmed his appreciation for Riddle and the positive impact she has had on his career.
This Wimbledon marks a significant milestone for Fritz as he advances to his first-ever semifinals at this prestigious tournament, having participated nine times since his debut in 2016.
Fritz and Riddle, who is also an influencer committed to rejuvenating interest in tennis, began dating in 2020 after meeting on the dating app Raya. Since then, she has been a constant presence at his major matches, cheering him on and inspiring younger fans to embrace the sport.
Fritz concluded, “It’s great to have somebody that can support you and your goals. I feel like we’re very much a team, and it’s been great to have.”
