With Taylor Fritz taking the tennis world by storm with back-to-back victories, everyone’s eyes have fallen on this incredible player who defeated Rafael Nadal at the 2022 Indian Wells Masters.
However, it is only natural that you eventually inquire about their relationship when you adore a sportsperson. In Taylor Fritz’s case, his girlfriend, Morgan Riddle, is more than a celebrity’s lover.
Morgan Riddle is an influencer who is on a mission to make tennis cool again as she believes it doesn’t get enough recognition as it used to. With fashion, travel, and beauty content, she amassed an immense following on social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok.
So, there is more to her than being a typical social media influencer, and here’s why.
Who Is Morgan Riddle? A Deep Look into Her Life
As we mentioned earlier, Morgan Riddle is an influencer, but what sets her apart from others is that she provides everyone with a different look at the world of competitive tennis, especially the younger generation.
Riddle grew up as a child in Minnesota and spent her adult years in New York. Obsessed with an extravagant life of travel, she chose to become an influencer after landing some relatively tough jobs, such as real estate and other marketing spaces.
She consistently attends tennis tournaments and posts videos and images of them on her social media accounts, garnering quite a bit of attention and generating interest in the sport in younger minds.
One of her videos about tennis, which went viral on TikTok with 700 thousand likes, will give you the perfect idea of her intentions. In the video, she starts with, “I know tennis is relatively uncool and unknown in America,” and gives a detailed glimpse at the sport, how the rankings work, and how it feels to see the game in person.
While she attends plenty of games every year, her relationship with Taylor Fritz is something special as they are seen hanging out after every match, and the couple was even invited to the official tournament gala dinner at the Nitto ATP Finals in Italy.
How Did Fritz and Riddle Meet Each Other?
While you may expect them to meet at a tennis match or a party, Fritz and Riddle actually met through a members-only dating app called Raya. When she moved to Los Angeles, she wanted a person to hang out with and accidentally found Fritz.
Recently, in June 2023, the couple celebrated their three-year anniversary despite being busy with their careers. In an interview with PEOPLE in July 2023, she described how it was when she first met Fritz and how he appreciated her goal to make tennis look cool. In her words,
“I think that he appreciates that we both have this collective goal of bringing it to a younger crowd. He does his part of it, and I do mine. I remember when he and I first met, within the first week or two, one of the things that he told me was that I just wanted tennis to be cooler in our generation. It’s just not. But we also get along really well, which is why I think we’ve been able to make it work the last couple of years.”
While the couple is already quite popular thanks to their individual career achievements, they also appeared in a Netflix documentary series about the world of competitive tennis. She even posted a behind-the-scenes video on her TikTok and gave fans a glimpse of what filming looks like.
