Who Is Taylor Fritz's Girlfriend? All About Morgan Riddle

Taylor Fritz is taking the tennis world by storm with his girlfriend, Morgan Riddle, by his side.

As of January 2024, the tennis star is the No. 12-ranked male player in the world. He also defeated 22-time Grand Slam singles winner Rafael Nadal at the 2022 Indian Wells Masters, earning him his first Masters title.

His fame expanded beyond just the world of competitive tennis when he starred in Netflix's Break Point, which followed him and other professional tennis players as they competed in four Grand Slam tournaments.

Supporting him as he makes these major career moves is Riddle — an influencer who regularly documents her experiences traveling the world for Fritz's tournaments. She has more than 420,000 followers on TikTok and over 220,000 on Instagram. She aims to "make tennis cool again," or more appealing to the younger generations.

So, who is Taylor Fritz's girlfriend? Here's everything to know about Morgan Riddle and her relationship with the tennis champion.

She's an influencer on a mission to "make tennis cool again"

Riddle has garnered tons of followers on both TikTok and Instagram for her fashion, beauty and travel content. She is most known, however, for giving an inside look at the world of competitive tennis and making the sport more appealing to a younger generation.

One of her most viral TikToks explains her mission to make "tennis cool again." She starts the video by saying, "I know tennis is relatively uncool and unknown in America," before giving a breakdown of the sport, including what the annual tennis schedule is, how the rankings work and what it's like for her to attend tennis tournaments around the world.

The video received over 700 thousand likes as well as some backlash, but Fritz was quick to defend his girlfriend.

"I think what she did was awesome for our sport. It got a ton of people looking at it. I think you get your typical older fan who may be upset about it. I don't understand how anyone can get upset about it. I'm the one that's a professional tennis player, I'm the one that does this for a living. I 100 percent agree with everything in that video," Fritz explained during a press conference at the 2022 Indian Wells Masters tournament.

In September 2022, Riddle helped make the sport look cool again when she shared photos on Instagram from the Laver Cup in London, where Fritz's team, Team World, took the win. Her carousel post included an epic shot of the stadium lit up with the words, "World Wins the Laver Cup," a snap of her and Fritz posing with the Laver Cup trophy and a photo of champagne bottles and glasses surrounding the trophy. In her caption, Riddle wrote, "does it smell like underdog in here??? 🥵🏆."

Riddle and Fritz traveled to Italy for the Nitto ATP Finals in November 2022. The couple were invited to the official tournament gala dinner, which they attended in Giorgio Armani suits.

In July 2023, Riddle spoke with PEOPLE about her and Fritz's goal to make the sport more appealing to a younger generation.

"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," she said. "I remember when him and I first met within the first week or two, one of the things that he told me is I just want tennis to be cooler in our generation. It's just not."

She and Fritz met on a dating app

Riddle and Fritz first met on Raya, a members-only dating app. Riddle told PEOPLE she had just moved to Los Angeles in "peak Covid" and "didn't know anybody," so she went on the app to find some people to hang out with — and met Fritz.

"Because it was during Covid, no restaurants were open, no bars were open so we ordered sushi," she said. "We went to his place and I made him watch Midsommar with me, the really messed up horror movie. Why I chose that as my first introduction to a guy, I don't really know. I think I traumatized him a little bit."
