Taylor Fritz has done it! By defeating his compatriot Frances Tiafoe for a record 7th time, the American has booked a ticket to the US Open final against Jannik Sinner. And some of the loudest cheers from his box have come from girlfriend Morgan Riddle. The influencer has been in New York City for the entirety of Fritz’s brilliant run. And now as he goes deeper in a Grand Slam than ever before, fans can’t stop gushing over the power couple of tennis.
In a recent post, Riddle posted a photo dump of the American major so far. With pictures of herself, Fritz, and the tournament, she captioned it, “love, love 🤍🎾” The first picture shows Riddle sitting with anticipation as she concentrates on the match in front of her. Then there are pictures of Taylor Fritz doing a fist pump, a front closeup of the tennis WAG, a picture of her outfit. But what really catches fan attention is the second picture, which shows a sweet moment between the couple.
Fritz and Morgan share a kiss behind-the-scenes, presumably after Fritz’s win, but it’s unclear. The last picture in the carousel shows the ATP player lifting his girlfriend up from the ground with their arms tight around each other, in either a hug or another kiss, as their faces have been cropped.

Some of the other famous couples here are, of course, Fritz’s next opponent Jannik Sinner and Anna Kalinskaya, as well as Fritz’s last opponent Frances Tiafoe and his girlfriend Ayan Broomfield. While Kalinskaya was ousted in the third round, Broomfield is not as active on the court anymore.

But these are names where both sides play tennis. If there were a more similar couple to be found, it would be Tommy Paul and Paige Lorenze. Where the ATP player reached the R16, Lorenze has been making a name for herself through her content as well as the Dairy Boy brand. But none of these couples are perhaps as famous as Fritz and Riddle right now, which has fans rooting for the American to finally win his first Slam. “QUEEN 👸🏼 gosh I’m really praying for Taylor!!!!! So proud!!! Y’all are so sweet together!”
Another wrote, “ Holy sh*t I’m obsessed” while one is already hearing wedding bells in the distance, “Can yall just pls get married already 😍”
Interestingly, Taylor Fritz has an ex-wife, Raquel Pedraza, with whom he shares a son. Pedraza is also a tennis player, and the two got engaged during their junior years in Paris. After they tied the knot at 18 years old, a baby boy named Jordan was born. “My life really hasn’t changed too much because of how my wife has really stepped up. She’s really just doing everything she can for me and for my tennis,” Fritz had said at the Eastbourne Open press conference in 2017.

While he realized that much responsibility came with being a father so young, Fritz and Pedraza ultimately separated soon after Pedraza left the Tour. But, the two share an amicable relationship and co-parent their son, about whom Fritz has said, “I have a son that I don’t get to see near as much as I’d like. As it stands right now, I just have to try to see him as much as I possibly can.”
Now, there’s a new chapter in Taylor Fritz’s life, both personally and professionally. As he looks to defeat the World No. 1 on the hard courts of Flushing, Morgan Riddle will be constantly by his side as a strong support system!
