Taylor Fritz is one of the top men’s tennis players in the world. He’s the latest in a long line of American tennis players to be among the sport’s best, currently ranking No. 5 in the ATP rankings.
Fritz, 26, is in the prime of his tennis career. He is still seeking his first major victory, but he has 10 career titles to his name. Ahead of the 2025 Wimbledon tournament, his best major finish was in the finals of the 2024 U.S. Open.
Fans know a lot about Fritz due to his presence on social media. It isn’t necessarily Fritz putting himself out there — he leaves that to his influencer girlfriend, Morgan Riddle.
While we often see the significant others of tennis players in the crowd, Riddle is one of the first to document what life is like for someone dating a player on the professional tennis tour. She left her corporate job in 2022 and started posting on social media what it was like travelling the world for Fritz’s career.

Here’s more on Fritz’s girlfriend and the headlines she made for her posts at Wimbledon in 2024.
Who is Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend?
Fritz’s girlfriend is influencer and content creator Morgan Riddle. They met on the dating app Raya in early 2020 and have been together ever since. She started travelling with him in 2021 on the ATP Tour, which took him all over the world with stops in Australia, France, England, and the U.S. for the four tennis majors. At the time, Riddle was trying to work a corporate job, but she left that in 2022.
When she was travelling abroad, she started posting to social media about her and Fritz’s trips and what life was like dating a professional tennis player. Riddle was able to turn that into her career after she left the corporate world and traveled with Fritz full-time.
She started a vlog-style YouTube channel in 2023 and went on to appear in the Netflix series Break Point that followed the tennis tour. Riddle also famously began a short series in 2023 where she tracked fashion at Wimbledon.
Morgan Riddle controversial 2024 Wimbledon comments
Riddle faced some backlash at Wimbledon in 2024. She was on the cover of British Vogue and continued her series about fashion at the major. The controversy wasn’t related to that, but instead it involved some Instagram posts that she made after Fritz beat Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinals.

Zverev had been accused of domestic abuse by his ex-girlfriend, Olga Sharypova, in 2020. He was investigated by the ATP in 2021, and after 15 months, the situation was closed in January 2023, with no sanctions given due to “lack of evidence.” New allegations of domestic violence emerged in 2023, and he was ordered to pay a fine. He also made an out-of-court settlement payment to the state, as well as another to charity in June 2024, right before Wimbledon.
After Fritz beat Zverev in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon, Riddle took to Instagram with the caption in her story, “cheer loud ladies.” Another story added, “when ur man wins 4 the girls.” Riddle maintains that they weren’t shots at Zverev, but social media made the connections instantly and thought that they were rather obvious and on the nose.
Riddle deleted the posts on Instagram and instead posted, “Regarding my stories yesterday… I took them down as soon as I realized the misunderstanding and how blown out of proportion they had become by the media. They were not about anything that’s happened off the tennis court & there’s no bad blood between anyone. Super proud of [Taylor] for the match yesterday, thank you to the crowd for the support & looking forward to tomorrow.”
